Autonomous mobility, Zoox, Foster City, California

There was no car to drive from Zoox at the 2013 Los Angeles auto show, but Tim Kentley-Klay, founder, CEO and visionary of Zoox told Lou Ann Hammond, CEO, Driving the Nation, that the human driver is the biggest danger in autonomous vehicles. Kentley-Klay has met with Google about designing self-driving cars. Usually that much credence isn't given to a website with a drawing, but in this high-tech world we live in car manufacturers are in a transportation paradigm, a driving dichotomy.

Our robotaxi is built to withstand a range of temperatures to ensure that the vehicle, and most importantly, its riders are never too hot or too cold... no matter the weather. Learn more about our thermal testing in the latest episode of Putting Zoox to the Test.

Maneuverability is crucial for autonomous vehicles designed to operate in cities. Four-wheel steering, bidirectional design, and active suspension are some of the features integrated into our robotaxi to ensure every ride is a smooth ride.

Bidirectional design, four-wheel steering, and a compact length give our robotaxi unique agility and freedom of movement in dense urban environments. Or in games of tic-tac-toe. May the best robot win.

The Zoox robotaxi is designed for city streets, but that doesn't mean it can't go fast. Operating at high speeds requires rigorous testing, first in simulation and then IRL. Meet some of the crew who are ensuring you'll have a safe and comfortable ride, whether it's at 5MPH or 75MPH.

Last week, the California DMV granted us our permit to operate our robotaxi autonomously on public roads. This weekend, we hit the road! It marked the first time in history that a purpose-built robotaxi—with no manual controls—drove autonomously on open public roads with passengers. It was a huge milestone for Zoox and the AV industry.
