Nuro autonomous vehicle carrying groceries.

Many of us still do our own grocery shopping, driving ourselves to a huge variety of supermarkets around the Phoenix area.

But some have taken to using a delivery service where you fill out a list online and a grocery employee drives the items to your house.

The driverless vehicle startup, Nuro, is taking that one step further. The company has partnered with Kroger and will be offering a pilot project at a Fry’s store in Scottsdale for autonomous grocery delivery.

Nuro co-founder Dave Ferguson joined The Show to talk about the pilot and the company’s aspirations.
