Asda customers will from today be taking delivery of groceries from vehicles that can drive themselves as the supermarket has started a trial using autonomous cars.
The retailer claims the move is Britain’s biggest autonomous grocery home delivery trial to date.
Customers across London will have their shopping delivered to their homes by ‘self-driving’ Jaguar I-Pace electric cars, although they won’t be driven completely unattended.
In partnership with Wayve, a developer of artificial intelligence for driverless vehicles, the year-long trial will enable Asda to autonomously deliver orders to a catchment area of more than 170,000 residents across 72,000 households in London.
The vehicles will join Asda’s existing delivery fleet at its Park Royal store in west London.
