Nuro Inc., which has unmanned delivery pods scurrying around Southwestern streets, said that it will build a $40 million facility to assemble and test a new generation of autonomous vehicles in Nevada.
The expansion marks an inflection point for the 5-year-old robotics startup. After three years refining its autonomous driving system while delivering groceries, prescriptions and pizza, it says it’s ready to expand and add tens of thousands of vehicles to shorthaul cargo routes around the country.
