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 down.

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

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.

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.

“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.

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.
