Deployment

Nuro R2 at Mayo Clinic (Scottsdale)

Second-generation Nuro autonomous road vehicle. Low-speed automotive form factor, goods-only (no passenger compartment). Deployed in Houston, Mountain View, and Scottsdale.

Classified as `av` form factor; regulatory regime is road-vehicle, not sidewalk. Nuro pivoted from first-party delivery to AV technology licensing (the Nuro Driver). Current R2 operations in Mountain View and Houston are Nuro's own R&D fleet validating the Nuro Driver, not customer deployments; the model is classified research to reflect this post-pivot state.
