Introducing R2, Nuro’s Next Generation Self-Driving Vehicle

As the first company to be granted approval for a self-driving vehicle exemption, it’s an important moment for Nuro and a milestone for the industry. We custom-designed R2 to enrich local commerce with last-mile delivery of consumer products, groceries, and hot food from local stores and restaurants. In the coming weeks, R2 will begin public road testing to prepare for its first deliveries to customers’ homes with our partners in Houston, Texas. With this vehicle, we can also bring our service to new cities, so more Americans can benefit from safe, efficient, convenient on-demand deliveries.

City Council At-Large Position 4

Council Member Letitia Plummer

Like many Houstonians, Letitia Plummer was raised in a multicultural household, an experience that has shaped everything she does. She was born to an African American father and a Yemeni-Indian mother who raised her on strong principles of opposing and speaking out against injustice.

As a At Large 4, Council Member, Letitia has worked on several initiatives. She successfully engaged top Houston Chef’s to feed seniors and food insecure families across Houston through her ‘Feed the Need Program’ and has continued since. She introduced comprehensive Policing Reform as part of Houston’s budget amendments and has since continued to be an advocate for criminal justice reform.
