Walmart Inc. is about to team up with Cruise LLC, the self-driving car unit majority-owned by General Motors Co., to experiment with delivering customer orders using driverless vehicles.
Cruise’s robot-piloted cars will ferry orders to customers’ homes from a Walmart store in Scottsdale, Arizona, starting early next year, Tom Ward, the retailer’s senior vice president of customer product, said in a Tuesday blog post.
