Uber Eats is teaming up with Nuro to use delivery robots as part of a 10-year contract. Is this the beginning of the end for human delivery drivers?
, had stalled ambitions for Uber, which has struggled with profitability through normal operations with independent contractor drivers.
Nuro delivery robots enjoyed renewed interest from business partners in the early months of the pandemic, but the company's technology is now being viewed as a cost saver for operators rather than a method of more sanitary delivery.Of course, a limited rollout in two cities plus plans to launch in the Bay Area won't transform Uber Eats' business model overnight.
For now, and even a year from now, there is little danger of Nuro's robots replacing the human Uber Eats drivers, which is less than desirable news for Uber's investors. Will we see delivery robots displace human delivery drivers by decade's end, or is this trend further out? Let us know in the comments below.
