Walmart's latest pilot program with a self-driving vehicle company is with Palo Alto, California-based Gatik, blogged Tom Ward, Walmart U.S. senior vice president-digital operations. The retailer has been testing autonomous-vehicle use for customer deliveries and transporting goods between its locations, he said. With Gatik, it’s testing an autonomous vehicle to move customer orders on a 2-mile route between two stores in Bentonville, Arkansas, its home base, to learn more about the logistics of integrating autonomous vehicles into its online grocery ecosystem, said Ward.
