Future FedEx deliveries could come in an autonomous vehicle. The parcel company is teaming up with self-driving vehicle manufacturer Nuro for a large-scale pilot program, testing autonomous deliveries in several regions across the United States.<\/p>\n

While it doesn\u2019t produce consumer vehicles, Nuro is one of the top self-driving vehicle manufacturers for businesses. It\u2019s partnered with several companies, including Domino\u2019s and Kroger<\/a>. But Nuro\u2019s partnership with FedEx marks a serious change for the company that could be incredibly lucrative\u2014after all, FedEx has a fleet of over 70k vehicles<\/a> that could be replaced by self-driving cars.<\/p>\n

While self-driving FedEx vehicles would displace (not necessarily eliminate) a ton of jobs, the idea does have several benefits. FedEx could reduce delivery times and potentially cut delivery costs, which may result in lower shipping fees. The self-driving vehicle could also pick up packages for delivery, saving you a trip<\/a> to your local FedEx store or dropbox.<\/p>\n

In its blog post announcing the partnership, Nuro says that it will launch a pilot program to test autonomous FedEx vehicles in select regions across the U.S. Of course, these vehicles may still have a \u201cdriver\u201d depending on local laws (some regions are open to self-driving vehicles but require that companies pass certification programs).<\/p>\n
