Walmart is expanding its fleet of self-driving cars to Arizona for a delivery program with Cruise

Walmart is teaming up with autonomous vehicle startup Cruise for a pilot delivery program that uses self-driving cars to bring orders from stores to homes around Scottsdale, Arizona. Customers place an order from their local Walmart and it will be delivered, contact-free by one of Cruise's all-electric self-driving Chevy Bolts. The program is set to start in early 2021 and will use a number of vehicles that have have at least one safety driver behind the wheel during every trip. Walmart has recently made its way into delivery programs with self-driving vehicles in several US locations and has teamed up with a number of firms including Ford and Waymo. Little details has been provided about the pilot program, but Walmart shared that the GM-owned Cruise will help with finding new ways to'use technology to serve customers in the future.'
