A European grocer starts a driverless store-delivery pilot
The pilot covers a fixed highway leg between a depot and a small set of stores, with a safety driver still on the roster.
A European grocery group said it has started a driverless delivery pilot between one regional depot and a handful of stores. The route is fixed, the windows are overnight, and a safety driver remains available. The company described it as an operations trial, not a customer-facing promise.
Announcements like this are easy to over-read. The useful details are the corridor, the fallback, and who owns the exception when the vehicle stops. Those are the lines to watch when the pilot either expands or quietly ends.
