Deployment
Zoox Robotaxi at Las Vegas, Nevada, 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.
On August 10, 2026, Zoox launched its first-ever paid commercial ride-hailing service in Las Vegas under NHTSA's temporary exemption allowing up to 2,500 vehicles annually for two years. Free demonstration rides continue in San Francisco. Zoox has issued three NHTSA software recalls in 2025 for unexpected braking, a Las Vegas collision, and unnecessary lane-crossings.
