in the self-driving car space relative to heavyweights including Alphabet’s Waymo and Cruise. Guided by Kentley Klay’s sci-fi vision for robotic driving he cofounded the company in 2014 with Stanford University computer scientist Jesse Levinson, promising a bespoke robotaxi with unique capabilities and rider amenities that Zoox would build inhouse.
