Show Notes
Nuro, the Silicon Valley startup backed by tech giants, has begun testing its self-driving tech in Japan. Theyve equipped Toyota Prius cars with their software and are navigating Tokyos dense traffic and unique road signs. Nuro, founded in 2016 by former Google engineers, has pivoted from delivery bots to licensing their tech to carmakers and delivery firms. Their secret sauce is an end-to-end AI model that allows the system to handle new environments without prior training. Nuro has raised significant funding, including $233 million in Series E funding last year, and sees Tokyo as the first step in global expansion.
