Kroger plans to test whether it can steer supermarket customers away from crowded grocery aisles with a fleet of driverless cars designed to lower delivery costs.
The test program could make Kroger the first U-S grocer to make deliveries with robotic cars that won’t have a human riding along to take control in case something goes wrong.
Kroger is teaming up with Nuro…founded by two engineers who worked on self-driving cars at Google.
The self-driving service is supposed to begin by the end of this year, though Kroger isn’t saying yet where it will be offered.
