Zoox is an American autonomous vehicle company founded in 2014 that designs a purpose-built robotaxi rather than retrofitting an existing car. Its vehicle has no steering wheel or driver position, seats four passengers facing each other, drives equally well in either direction and was developed alongside the sensors, compute and software that operate it, which required the company to certify the design under its own self-certification of federal motor vehicle safety standards. Amazon acquired the company in 2020 and it has since begun public robotaxi service in Las Vegas and San Francisco while testing in several other American cities.
