Zoox, founded in 2014, develops and operates fully autonomous, all-electric robotaxis purpose-built for driverless urban transportation. The company's vehicle is a bidirectional, four-wheel-steering robotaxi with no steering wheel or traditional controls, designed to carry up to four passengers. Its technical work spans autonomous vehicles, robotics, electric vehicle engineering, and AI/ML for driving.
The company's robotaxi is distinguished by its ground-up design philosophy: rather than retrofitting existing cars with autonomous technology, Zoox engineered a vehicle specifically for a world without drivers. This includes a custom safety system and a rider-focused interior without conventional driver controls.
Zoox currently operates in Las Vegas, San Francisco, and Foster City, California. Its work sits at the intersection of urban mobility, transportation, and autonomous ride-hailing services.
