Nuro's footage of its autonomy operating in Tokyo, where its fleet is Toyota Prius vehicles retrofitted with the Nuro Driver. The autonomous system is the Nuro Driver; the vehicle is the Prius. This is not driverless: Japanese law requires a safety operator behind the wheel, and Nuro runs the software in shadow mode (commands are computed but not sent to the controls). 'Zero-shot autonomy' is Nuro's claim; the Prius is a retrofit and licensing-direction testbed, not a commercial driverless deployment.
