Nuro Self-Driving Car Scores Federal Regulator Approval(Radio)
Self-driving robot start-up Nuro Inc. has been granted regulatory permission to deploy its grocery delivery vehicles on the nation’s roads, making the company’s autonomous vehicles the first approved to temporarily sidestep car-safety standards. The company, founded by ex-Alphabet Inc. employees and backed by SoftBank Vision Fund, won an exemption from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that allows it to deploy a car without side mirrors, rear visibility, and a glazed windshield. Bloomberg Government's Courtney Rozen discusses the exemption with Nancy Lyons in the Bloomberg 99.1 Washington newsroom.
