Zoox plans to launch an "Early Rider Program" in Las Vegas in the next few months.
A fork in the road is emerging in computing architectures that could upend the pecking order of today’s leading chipmakers. For nearly half a century, the dominant architecture for the CPU was the x86, created by Intel. Most of the world’s computers, servers and data centers use the x86 architecture. Since it has been around since 1978, introduced as part of the Intel 8086 processor, this architecture ensures that older software written for earlier x86 processors can run on newer x86 CPUs. Intel and AMD are the two largest users of x86. But a rising star is British chip designer Arm, which uses a different CPU architecture not compatible with x86
LAS VEGAS — During CES 2025 last week, Mike Oitzman, senior editor at The Robot Report, was invited to a demonstration ride in a Zoox Inc. robotic taxicab. He was joined by Mike White, chief product officer of Zoox, for a interview during the ride around the Las Vegas Strip.The Foster City, Calif.-based company recently announced that it is testing its vehicles in San Francisco. Its vehicle, which has no traditional steering wheel or driver, is currently offering free rides to Zoox employees and guests.The robotaxi features individual climate control, music selection, and a quiet, all-electric design. Zoox said its vehicle can operate for 16 hours and navigate through dynamic environments such as construction zones and city streets.It boasts four-wheel steering and bi-directional capabilities, enhancing pickup and drop-off efficiency, said the company. The ride experience emphasizes passenger comfort and control, aiming to transform mobility by providing a serene and customizable journey.There is no human driver or even a safety driver in this Zoox vehicle
Zoox, a subsidiary of Amazon, is developing fully autonomous electric vehicles to provide transportation in the same way a taxi or Uber would.
Autonomous vehicles (AVs) are emerging as a use case for artificial intelligence, with Nvidia announcing partnerships with carmakers to develop self-driving technology using its hardware and software platform. “The AV revolution has arrived after so many years, with Waymo’s success and Tesla’s success,” said Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang during a keynote speech at CES 2025 in Las Vegas Monday (Jan. 6). Nvidia and Uber announced in a Monday press release that they will jointly develop AI-powered self-driving technology. Uber will use data from millions of trips taken in its vehicles and pair it with Nvidia’s new generative world foundation model, Cosmos. This enables Uber’s AI systems to train in virtual-world settings
Zoox, a self-driving company owned by Amazon, has announced that it hired Gao for a similar leading role at the company.
Williams Racing has partnered with autonomous ride-hailing company Zoox for a multi-year agreement, with the Zoox logo to appear on Williams F1 cars for races in the US - starting with this month's Las Vegas Grand Prix.
Self-driving vehicle startup Zoox has launched its autonomous cab service in San Francisco, California, and expanded its operation in Las Vegas, Nevada, the company announced on Tuesday.
In January 2019, Zoox appointed Aicha Evans as CEO, after her previously being the Chief Strategy Officer at Intel.
General Motors' (NYSE:GM) Cruise and Amazon's (NASDAQ:AMZN) Zoox are also working on autonomous ride solutions.
