FedEx is expanding its portfolio of last-mile technology through a “multi-year, multi-phase agreement” with Nuro to test autonomous delivery vehicles, the carrier announced Tuesday.
“Kicking off with testing in Houston, this program allows Nuro and FedEx to explore high value use cases, including multi-stop and appointment-based deliveries,” a spokesperson from FedEx said in an email.
The testing began in “several Houston zip codes in April” and may expand to additional cities over time, a spokesperson from Nuro said in an email. So far, no packages have been delivered to customers through the collaboration.
