Riding In The Driverless Robotaxi Zoox

Jun 28, 2024

This is not a concept car, this is the world’s first purpose fully autonomous robot taxi created by Zoox and today it’s taking me on the busy roads of Las Vegas.

The bi-directional fully electric, fully autonomous vehicle has no steering wheel and comes with a top speed of 75mph. It will be hitting the roads of Las Vegas before being rolled out in San Fransisco. I had a look behind the scenes at some of the tech involved to create it and at how you can hail the robotaxi through the Zoox app.
