Walmart Inc. is working with Ford Motor Co. and Argo AI to start testing an autonomous-vehicle delivery service in three U.S. cities as the big-box retailer’s consumers continue to favor deliveries within the same or next day.
The companies on Wednesday said the service will start in Miami, Austin, Texas, and Washington, D.C. The last-mile delivery service, or the leg of an item’s journey to the ultimate destination, will take Walmart orders to customers using Ford self-driving test vehicles equipped with Argo AI’s self-driving system.
