# Nuro Autonomous Prius at Houston: deployment

Canonical ID: `c6bea0f0-7074-4da1-a115-77d15c23b701`

CVS Pharmacy and Nuro launched an autonomous prescription-delivery pilot near Bellaire in the Houston area in mid-2020, Nuro's first pharmacy partnership, serving three zip codes with autonomous Priuses. It did not scale to permanent operations and wound down with Nuro's September 2024 pivot to licensing. The pilot did not convert.
