Kroger launches autonomous-vehicle grocery delivery in Houston

April 19, 2019

Kroger has launched an autonomous-vehicle grocery delivery service in Houston.

This marks the second market in which the grocery chain has teamed up with Nuro’s delivery service, following a pilot program in Scottsdale, Ariz., according to an announcement from Kroger. Currently Nuro is using a self-driving Toyota Prius fleet but says it will introduce a custom-built vehicle later this year. 

Customers can schedule deliveries seven days a week for same-day or next-day delivery using an app. They pay a $5.95 flat fee for the service.

Kroger has been at the forefront of research and development in grocery delivery technology.
