Zoox Driving System

Zoox's in-house AI driving system: the perception-prediction-planning stack at the center of its purpose-built, bidirectional robotaxi (no steering wheel or pedals). Predicts trajectories of vehicles, people, and animals up to about 8 seconds ahead with 360-degree sensing; powers Zoox's public driverless demonstration rides in Las Vegas and San Francisco.

Purpose-built prediction stack (primary Amazon Science)
Amazon Science coverage of Zoox describes the robotaxi driving stack's multi-agent prediction approach for dense urban scenes, reflecting Zoox's purpose-built bidirectional vehicle architecture rather than a retrofit AV kit. Treat technical framing as company/Amazon Science stated (Amazon Science)
Safety case public materials (primary Zoox)
Zoox publishes a public safety page summarizing its autonomous driving safety approach for the purpose-built robotaxi. Treat high-level safety claims as company-stated (Zoox Safety)
