In 2018, Nuro, which was founded in 2016, launched a self-driving delivery vehicle to run errands from picking up groceries to delivering dinner, and partnered with US-based supermarket chain Kroger to extend its services.
The funding by SoftBank came through its USD 100 billion Vision Fund, which usually picks up big stakes in fast-growing technology companies. According to the startup, the funds will be used to expand its delivery service to new areas, add new partners, expand its fleet, and grow its team.
