Zoox Expands Service and Brings Its Robotaxi to Two New Cities
Zoox plans early rider programs in Austin and Miami with nearly 100 vehicles and over 350,000 riders served, while expanding San Francisco and Las Vegas services.
- On Tuesday, Amazon-owned robotaxi developer Zoox announced plans to debut its driverless service in Austin, Texas, and Miami, Florida later this year, deploying purpose-built vehicles within small areas of both cities.
- Zoox, acquired by Amazon in 2020, has reached significant operational milestones with nearly 2 million autonomous miles driven and over 350,000 riders served, establishing momentum for expansion.
- Expanding its existing footprint, the company will quadruple its San Francisco service area this spring to include the Marina, Chinatown, and Pacific Heights, while doubling Las Vegas locations to add the Sphere and T-Mobile Arena.
- To facilitate growth, Zoox recently partnered with Uber to integrate its vehicles into the ride-hailing app, while awaiting National Highway Traffic Safety Administration approval to launch paid services.
- Intense competition from Alphabet-owned Waymo and Tesla shapes the market, with prediction markets assigning only 14.5% probability to Tesla launching robotaxis in California by June 30.
