Amazon’s Zoox Debuts Robotaxi Service in Las Vegas

Amazon's autonomous vehicle subsidiary Zoox is launching a public robotaxi service in Las Vegas, marking its first step in offering driverless rides to the public and competing with companies like Waymo and Tesla in the US autonomous vehicle market. The service will initially be free and limited to specific destinations on the Strip, with plans to expand to other cities and increase vehicle deployment. Zoox's vehicles are unique in being built from the ground up without a steering wheel, and the company aims to produce around 5,000 robotaxis annually by the end of 2024.
