3 Generations of Driverless Delivery Vehicles | WIRED

If an automated car was only designed to transport goods, what would that look like? In theory, it wouldn’t need windows, or steering wheels, or seats. Nuro is doing just that, they’ve engineered a vehicle that’s sole purpose is delivering things. How did they do it? Nuro’s Andrew Clare and Daniel Hundt break it all…

    Driverless cars will quickly vanish when someone uses one to send a bomb.

    These are pointless, designed for lazy Americans.

    This invention has such an awesomely astounding capacity for delivering destruction. Would-be shooters and assorted terrorists must be dancing their butts off.

    They don’t think of the delivery guys they will lost their jobs no?

    • Maggie Gatsby

      Delivery guys will just have to do UberEats instead. Or drive taxis. Or become big rig truckers. They have to ADAPT.

    • 28th St. Air

      July 11, 2022 at 6:46 pm

      If you use that logic, the delivery guys you are speaking of took away the jobs of countless waiters, busboys, cashiers etc who used to serve people directly in restaurants before delivery people cut them out of the transaction. There will need to be new jobs to maintain the fleet of autonomous vehicles, load them etc, so innovations like these are not necessarily subtracting jobs.

    I’m literally a 1 minute drive, but a 10 min walk to a dominos and it costs 7 bucks for delivery lol something tells me that rises with automation

    This is the “car of the future” that people of the past imagined omg

    Can’t wait to see one of these on concrete bricks and covered with spraypaint

    How would you deliver things for people living in multi storied buildings using this?

    So this is a moving looting crate that only needs to be broken open to get the free stuff in it ? Nice !!

    The airbag is a really brilliant feature. I kept thinking “what are the points of failure here, what can and will go wrong once there are enough of these on the road” and just as importantly “how would they solve it?” I would like to hear more about things like iterating anti-theft measures, designing for inclement weather, what’s it like to get these insured, etc. They are already good at explaining iteration and unexpected complications (cities are louder than expected, so design a bigger speaker), and I’d like to hear more.

    Rather surprised that Amazon hasn’t scooped this up to augment their delivery service.

    Would love to see this technology applied to food banks in order to deliver fresh produce and healthy ingredients to food deserts.

    I liked this, but they said nothing about their code. Who made it, how long did it take, did they know what they were doing, nothing.

    Wow tech is getting more applicative and interesting, minimizing physical contact and perfect for bad weather.

    “There’s no way for a person to sit inside this vehicle”…

    And with those words, the next TicTok craze was created. Seriously, they need to establish interior sensors, because people will try to squeeze inside the cargo area. There will be at least a couple people that will have friends close the door, so that they can ride wherever the vehicle is going next.

    • Oz Verti

      July 14, 2022 at 12:24 pm

      I would assume the vehicle actually knows when something has been added that shouldn’t be there. Humans are a lot of weight being added when the car is expecting to lose weight on delivery.

    • Damion Lee

      July 14, 2022 at 12:53 pm

      @Oz Verti when it comes to people finding ways to express their stupid ideas for viral clicks, it is never safe to assume anything.

    What? An airbag on a vehicle to protect external people the vehicle hits? That has to be a first! Very cool.
