The vehicle features advanced sensors, cameras, and AI systems that allow it to navigate complex city environments. It can carry up to four passengers in a spacious interior, ensuring a pleasant ride experience. Safety is paramount, with rigorous testing and collaboration with regulatory bodies to meet high standards.

The company also develops a user-friendly ride-hailing platform that uses data analytics to improve routing and reduce wait times. Zoox aims to enhance urban mobility while prioritizing safety and environmental responsibility.
