Yes. This may involve slightly more effort on the urban customer’s part than something like DoorDash, but if it’s significantly cheaper (and doesn’t involve disingenuously guilting you into tipping to subsidize the rate the company pays a human delivery person), I could see city dwellers flocking to it. The biggest challenge I see is discovering and navigating to the appropriate place for the vehicle to wait for a customer to come down and pick up their order. Just thinking about my building, there’s a turnaround with a ton of non-obvious cues as to where taxis and Ubers are supposed to wait, and it’s shared with a public parking garage and a restaurant with a valet stand. An AV is pretty much guaranteed to get it wrong, and Nuro needs a way for door staff or valets to tell it where to go.
