No time to go to the store? Grocery giant Kroger and Silicon Valley company Nuro have announced a pilot program for a fully autonomous grocery delivery service.
 
The companies say that customers can place same-day delivery orders through Kroger’s ClickList system and Nuro’s app, and the orders will then be brought to the doorstep by a Nuro autonomous vehicle.
 
The pilot market will be announced soon, with deliveries expected to begin this fall. Kroger has 2,800 stores in 35 states.
 
"We are incredibly excited about the potential of our innovative partnership with Nuro to bring the future of grocery delivery to customers today," says Yael Cosset, Kroger's chief digital officer. "As part of Restock Kroger, we have already started to redefine the grocery customer experience and expand the coverage area for our anything, anytime and anywhere offering. Partnering with Nuro, a leading technology company, will create customer value by providing Americans access to fast and convenient delivery at a fair price."
