Nuro

Nuro autonomous delivery vehicles. Safety-focused design. No passengers at risk.

Nuro laid off 30% of workforce in 2023 amid autonomous vehicle funding crunch.

Nuro conducted two rounds of layoffs in 2023: 20% (300 employees) followed by another 30% (340 employees) as it paused commercial expansion and pivoted to technology licensing. Co-founders admitted the company "grew too quickly" during the pandemic. The company rebounded in 2025 with a $203M raise at $6B valuation and a 20,000-robotaxi partnership with Uber.
