Amazon’s Zoox driverless transportation company has started testing its robotaxi on open public roads — with employees on board, for now

. The company said Monday that it conducted an initial run of its shuttle service for workers at its headquarters in Foster City, California on February 11, a key step in its efforts to make autonomous vehicles widely available.

Zoox, which was founded in 2014 and purchased by Amazon in 2020, is unique in its approach to designing electric self-driving vehicles. Most autonomous cars under development resemble those currently on the road. But Zoox has ditched the steering wheel and brake pedal, claiming those features are unnecessary when there’s no human driver. Seats are designed to face each other to facilitate conversation between passengers.

Any chance we can get this in LexingtonKyGov? My lawyer told me if I get 2-3 more dui’s I might lose my license. Doordash is my primary source of income and I can’t afford to lose it

Good luck rolling out these babies in Chicago, NYC and Memphis. Hopefully they have their CarShield payments up to date….

This is not something that I would willingly get into. Looks like a van that takes you to a torture chamber.
