Canada’s largest grocer is rolling out fully autonomous delivery vehicles—without a human “safety driver”—on roads in Toronto and surrounding suburbs.

Loblaw Companies Ltd. and its partner in the initiative, artificial intelligence tech company Gatik, announced on Oct. 5 that this is the first time in Canada that there will be delivery vehicles without a safety driver on board.
