# Nuro R2: Price, Availability & Status (2026)

Nuro's R2 is a goods-only delivery AV (no passenger compartment, road-vehicle regime). Nuro pivoted to licensing the Nuro Driver; current R2 ops are an R&D fleet. Research. No consumer price.

## Price

_No verified price on record._

There is no consumer price. The R2 is an autonomous delivery service/program, not a vehicle sold to consumers, so DEPLOY records zero price points.

## Availability

_Status: internal-only_

This is an autonomous delivery program, not a consumer product. From Nuro, the R2's current operations in Houston, Mountain View, and Scottsdale are Nuro's own R&D fleet validating the Nuro Driver, not customer deployments.

## Status

Nuro's R2 is a second-generation autonomous road vehicle and the delivery-AV anchor of DEPLOY's autonomous-vehicle cluster: a low-speed automotive vehicle that is goods-only, with no passenger compartment, operating under a road-vehicle regulatory regime (not the sidewalk personal-delivery-device regime). Nuro pivoted from first-party delivery to licensing its autonomy stack, the Nuro Driver. The verified-vs-claimed nuance: the R2's current operations in Houston, Mountain View, and Scottsdale are Nuro's own R&D fleet validating the Nuro Driver, not customer deployments, so the model is recorded at research maturity to reflect this post-pivot state. The current generation is the BYD-built R3, a redesigned cargo compartment and refined sensor stack on the same goods-only, road-vehicle design. Nuro is distinct from the passenger robotaxis (Waymo, Zoox, the Chinese operators): it carries goods, not people.

## Common questions

### Can I buy or ride a Nuro?

Neither. The R2 is a goods-only delivery vehicle with no passenger compartment, run as a B2B autonomous delivery program (and now an R&D fleet); there is no consumer price and you cannot ride it.

### Is Nuro a sidewalk robot?

No. Nuro's R2 is a road-vehicle (low-speed automotive) under a road-vehicle regulatory regime, not the sidewalk personal-delivery-device regime: a distinct, larger class than sidewalk delivery bots.
