Amazon's Zoox Redesigns Robotaxi Ahead of Commercial Launch
Zoox said the redesigned vehicle reflects rider feedback and can be built at up to 100 robotaxis a week pending regulatory approval.
- On Wednesday, Amazon's Zoox unveiled the "next evolution" of its toaster-shaped robotaxi, featuring refined interior and exterior updates ahead of a wider U.S. rollout this year.
- The company developed these updates based on feedback from 500,000 riders, preparing for volume production at its Hayward, California facility capable of building up to 100 vehicles per week.
- Zoox refreshed the interior with ergonomic seats and a lighter color scheme to reduce "visual distractions," while relocating "bidirectional reflectors" on the exterior to assist riders and law enforcement.
- Pending National Highway Traffic Safety Administration approval, the company hopes to launch paid rides while currently providing free service in Las Vegas and San Francisco.
- Alphabet's Waymo, the industry leader, operates over 3,000 robotaxis and recently surpassed 500,000 weekly paid rides across 10 cities, far outpacing Zoox's scaling efforts.
