LAS VEGAS (FOX5) — Following years of testing on the Las Vegas Strip, Zoox robotaxis will now be available to the public.
Amazon’s Zoox service is the first company in history to provide a fully autonomous ride-hailing service in a “purpose-built robotaxi,” according to a news release.
The service is centered around a mobile app that you use to order rides. The autonomous vehicle will show up to a designated Zoox location and then take you to your destination.
Riders can select from several destinations:
- Resorts World Las Vegas
- AREA15
- Topgolf
- Other resort and entertainment properties
Zoox said it would continue adding new destinations throughout the coming months as we expand our service.
“The autonomous vehicle industry has made remarkable strides this year, bringing us closer to a future of safer, more accessible mobility. With the launch of our fully driverless ride-hailing service using a purposefully designed robotaxi, we’re thrilled to be part of this groundbreaking journey,” said Aicha Evans, CEO of Zoox. “Las Vegas is a city famous for unforgettable moments, and it is the ideal location for our debut. Zoox is about transforming the entire ride-hailing experience, making every ride a delightful experience.”
Since 2023, the driverless company has been testing it’s fleet of cars in the valley. Pickups and drop offs are available through resorts world and other tourist hot spots.
For now, the rides will be free of charge in an effort to receive feedback from passengers. Additionally, paid rides will begin once Zoox receives the “necessary regulatory approval.”
