Amazon-owned Zoox ‘robotaxis’ hit the roads in California

Following a successful test run, the Zoox driverless cars will be deployed to transport employees around Foster City in California. Zoox, an autonomous vehicle company owned by Amazon, has successfully deployed its self-driving ‘robotaxis’ on the roads of California bringing us a step closer to a driverless car future. The company confirmed earlier this week that it conducted the first run of its employee shuttle service in California’s Foster City last week. This follows “rigorous” testing on private roads and approval from California state to operate its robotaxis on public roads. Zoox will not deploy its employee shuttle service for all full-time employees in Foster City, where the company is headquartered.
