Amazons Zoox Expands Robotaxi Service: Testing in Phoenix and Dallas
Zoox, Amazons self-driving car venture, is expanding its robotaxi service to Phoenix, Arizona, and Dallas, Texas. This brings the total number of testing sites to nine across the country. The company will start with fleet vehicles in select Phoenix neighborhoods, including downtown, to test how its sensors and batteries perform in extreme heat, dust, and high-speed conditions. Zoox already operates in several cities, and locals are eagerly awaiting the launch of the service in these new locations. New depots are opening in both cities, and a Fusion Center is being built in Scottsdale to serve as a main command hub for operations. However, theres no word yet on when the public can start taking rides, as the focus is currently on data collection in these new areas.
