SoftBank Group Corp. is investing almost $1 billion in a robotic-delivery vehicle startup, a hefty injection of capital that could help accelerate the race to put driverless vehicles on the road. Nuro Inc. raised $940 million from SoftBank’s nearly $100 billion tech-focused Vision Fund, the startup said Monday. Founded in 2016, Nuro is now valued by investors at $2.7 billion.
