Nuro, a leading autonomous vehicle technology company, has appointed its co-founder Dave Ferguson as Co-CEO. The move aims to speed up the company’s commercial growth and strengthen its leadership in the robotics and self-driving sector.
Ferguson will share executive duties with co-founder Jiajun Zhu, who remains Co-CEO. Together, the pair will guide Nuro through its next phase of innovation, expansion, and partnerships. The leadership change shows the company’s long-term plan to improve its market presence and grow its autonomous delivery platform around the world.
Under the new structure, Ferguson will oversee corporate growth, capital strategy, and external partnerships. Meanwhile, Zhu will focus on technology, product innovation, and engineering excellence. Both leaders have worked together for over 14 years, previously collaborating at Google’s self-driving car project before launching Nuro in 2016.
“Formalising our joint leadership marks a significant milestone for Nuro,” said Ferguson and Zhu in a joint statement. “This structure positions us to accelerate commercial operations while continuing to advance our autonomous driving technology.”
The announcement builds on a strong year for Nuro Driver™, integrating AI-powered perception, prediction, and motion planning in autonomous vehicles. The system is designed to support automakers, logistics partners, and mobility providers aiming to integrate driverless solutions into commercial operations.
With Ferguson’s expanded role, Nuro plans to deepen relationships with industry partners and accelerate the adoption of its autonomous delivery services across the United States. The company’s ongoing collaborations with major retailers and logistics firms highlight its commitment to transforming urban transportation and last-mile delivery.
Nuro keeps investing in AI safety, robotics engineering, and infrastructure that can scale to meet the rising demand for automated delivery solutions. As consumer and commercial interest in autonomous mobility grows, the company is setting itself up to be a leader in innovation, efficiency, and sustainability.
The change in leadership supports Nuro’s mission to create safer roads and more efficient delivery systems using fully autonomous vehicles. The company remains focused on creating technology that benefits communities, businesses, and the environment.
