Part 1: Origin story вЂњ How GoogleвЂ™s self-driving car project accidentally spawned its robotic delivery rivalвЂќ (3,200 words/13 minutes) - explores the early days of Nuro and its founders and how they realized that the most useful robot they could ever build would be an autonomous delivery vehicle.Here are the topics weвЂ™ll be dialing into: The Nuro EC-1 comprises four articles numbering 10,600 words and a reading time of 43 minutes. Harris nor Korosec have any financial ties to Nuro. Nuro had no say in the content of this analysis and did not get advance access to it.

The EC-1 series editor is Danny Crichton. The assistant editor for this series was Ram Iyer, the copy editor was Richard Dal Porto, and illustrations were drawn by Nigel Sussman. The lead editor of this EC-1 was Kirsten Korosec, transportation editor at TechCrunch (thatвЂ™s me), who has been writing about autonomous vehicles and the people behind them since 2014 OK maybe earlier. In 2014, he was a Knight Science Journalism Fellow at MIT, and in 2015 he won the AAAS Kavli Science Journalism Gold Award. He has broken stories about self-driving vehicles, giant airships, AI body scanners, faulty defibrillators and monkey-powered robots. Our resident scoop machine, Harris is based in Seattle and also writes for Wired, The Guardian, The Economist, MIT Technology Review and Scientific American. The lead writer of this EC-1 is Mark Harris, a freelance reporter known for investigative and long-form articles on science and technology. This series aims to look under NuroвЂ™s hood, so to speak, from its earliest days as a startup to where it might be headed next - and with whom. Those quiet days might be coming to an end soon. Perhaps itвЂ™s because NuroвЂ™s focus on autonomous delivery hasnвЂ™t captured the imagination of a general public that envisions themselves being whisked away in a robotaxi. Yet, Nuro has remained largely in the shadows of other autonomous vehicle companies. And, they seem to have navigated the regulatory obstacle course with success - at least so far. Their company, Nuro, is valued at $5 billion and has high-profile partnerships with leaders in retail, logistics and food including FedEx, DominoвЂ™s and Walmart. Little did I know that two of the people behind FireflyвЂ™s ability to see and perceive the world around it and react to that information would soon leave to start and steer an autonomous vehicle company of their very own.Дave Ferguson and Jiajun Zhu arenвЂ™t the only Google self-driving project employees to launch an AV startup, but they might be the most underrated. Six years ago, I sat in the Google self-driving projectвЂ™s Firefly vehicle - which I described, at the time, as a вЂњlittle gumdrop on wheelsвЂќ - and let it ferry me around a closed course in Mountain View, California.
