Deployment

Zoox Robotaxi at Austin, Texas, USA

Zoox's purpose-built bidirectional autonomous robotaxi, designed from scratch without a steering wheel or pedals and featuring carriage-style seating for four passengers (two facing forward, two backward). Amazon acquired Zoox in June 2020 for approximately $1.3 billion. The vehicle is battery-electric with a 133 kWh pack and a manufacturer-claimed top speed of 120 km/h; public demonstration rides have operated in San Francisco and Las Vegas. In May 2025 Zoox issued a software recall after a touchscreen freeze caused a loss of traction control in one vehicle during a test.
