- Zoox’s plan to launch a commercial robotaxi service in Las Vegas later this year follows more than a decade of AI development and vehicle testing.

- CEO Aicha Evans called their vehicles "high-end computers on wheels," emphasizing safety, long service life, and dozens of rides per day to ensure profitability.
