Its parent company Ford has delivered Domino's pizza orders in autonomous vehicles in the past, and even collaborated with delivery app Postmates to bring Walmart orders to Miami-area shoppers.
Argo AI is also on the roads in Pittsburgh, Detroit, and Palo Alto, California, but won't be offering any delivery services in those cities.
