## How DEPLOY assessed this

Zoox announced expansion to Austin and Miami. As of July 2026, no confirmed launch of paid rides in these cities. Zoox's purpose-built vehicle (no steering wheel) faces more regulatory hurdles than Waymo's modified Jaguar. https://www.cnbc.com/2026/03/24/amazon-zoox-robotaxi-rides-austin-miami.html
