If their order falls within certain days and times, they can choose to have Nuro&#x27;s R2 robot drop off their pizza. Once the robot arrives, customers will enter a unique PIN on its touch screen to prompt the doors to open so they can retrieve their pizza. A Domino&#x27;s spokeswoman said that the company doesn&#x27;t have an end date for the pilot program yet.<\/p>\n<p>The R2 robot is the first completely autonomous on-road delivery vehicle without any occupants to receive regulatory approval from the U.S. Department of Transportation. Nuro, which was founded by two former members of Google&#x27;s self-driving car team, raised $500 million in its last funding round, which included an investment from Chipotle Mexican Grill.<\/p>\n<p>Over the last decade, Domino&#x27;s has invested in technology to make ordering and receiving a pizza faster and easier, helping it lure customers away from independent pizzerias and other chains, like Papa John&#x27;s. Driverless pizza delivery is one area of recent focus, although the company is still years \u2014 or even decades \u2014 away from replacing its entire fleet of drivers. <\/p>\n<p>In 2019, the company announced its partnership with Nuro. Two years before, it researched how consumers would react to pizza delivery from an autonomous car with Ford.<\/p>\n<p>Domino&#x27;s shares have risen risen 13% in the last year, giving it a market value of $15.2 billion. The company has benefitted from consumers&#x27; desire for delivery during the coronavirus pandemic, but analysts are concerned about pizza fatigue in the coming months.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2021\/04\/12\/dominos-pizza-pilots-driverless-delivery-with-nuro-in-houston.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Domino&#x27;s Pizza is piloting driverless pizza delivery with Nuro in Houston.
