Robot cars made by driverless technology company will deliver prescription medicine to CVS customers

The driverless car startup Nuro is deploying its fleet of robocars in Texas to deliver people's prescriptions. According to the company, its fleet of tiny self-driving cars will start delivering prescriptions next month to CVS customers in Houston at no extra charge. The company says it will start making deliveries with its autonomous fleet of Toyota Prius' and then switch to its smaller and more dedicated robot, the R2. For now, a safety driver will be accompanying the cars until Nuro switches to its completely autonomous R2. Eligible customers in three zip codes will be able to use the CVS website or the company's pharmacy app to order prescriptions online.
