Operator: Zoox (Amazon). Zoox operates FREE public demonstration robotaxi rides on and around the Las Vegas Strip using its purpose-built robotaxi (no steering wheel or pedals). IMPORTANT STATUS: this is a free demonstration service, NOT paid commercial — Zoox requires additional federal approval before charging and has stated it plans to begin paid commercial service in 2026. Began with employees and vetted guests in 2024, expanding to early-rider/public demonstration. Las Vegas is the site of the April 8, 2025 collision (unoccupied Zoox robotaxi struck by a passenger car) that prompted the 270-vehicle May 2025 software recall.
