Nuro Shifts Focus to Licensing Automated Driving Software

The company pivots from building delivery bots to offering its autonomous driving system to automakers and robotaxi services.

Nuro plans to license its fourth-generation autonomous driving system to automakers, robotaxi services, and other mobility providers.
The company will stop developing its own delivery vehicles, transitioning to a business model centered on software and AI tools.
Nuro's new strategy includes targeting both delivery and passenger transport markets with its SAE Level 4 autonomous driving system.
The fourth-generation Nuro Driver system will utilize Nvidia's Drive Thor SoC and solid-state lidar sensors for improved performance and cost-efficiency.
Despite the pivot, Nuro aims to maintain its competitive edge by offering a customizable, collaborative platform compared to competitors like Mobileye.
