On February 20, 2020, the US Department of Transportation granted tax exemption to the Nuro R2 small robot car, exploring three additional states.
A robotic delivery vehicle that has already been tested and approved for use in one of the nation’s wealthiest states will be available for Chipotle Mexican Grill’s use. Therefore, the restaurant chain may be able to use a new delivery model soon.
