Self-driving car startup Nuro is ready to put autonomous vehicles on the road in partnership with Kroger to deliver groceries in Scottsdale, Arizona.

Nuro’s intent is to use its self-driving technology in the last mile for the delivery of local goods and services.

Nuro has two compartments that can fit up to six grocery bags each.
