AUSTIN, Texas — Later this summer, a new batch of self-driving cars will begin testing around town., with cars also driving around in Miami, Seattle, and San Francisco.

Zoox is the newest automated vehicle company to come to Austin. Waymo started testing cars in March, and before that Cruise launched its robo-taxi service in September of 2020.“They need a place that’s more typical of American cities,” Kockelman said. “You want an educated, high-tech kind of population because they're more likely to welcome new technologies and adopt them faster.”

An investigation into Cruise began in October last year.Self-driving car company plans to operate in Austin even though it's under a federal investigation
