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.

Wayve is a British autonomous driving company founded in Cambridge in 2017 that trains end-to-end neural networks to drive rather than assembling hand-written rules around high-definition maps. Its AI Driver learns from camera video and can be deployed on standard vehicle sensor sets, which is what lets the company demonstrate driving in cities it has never mapped. Headquartered in London and backed by a one billion dollar SoftBank-led round plus investment from NVIDIA, Microsoft and Uber, it partners with carmakers to ship assisted driving software and is developing fully driverless deployments.

Mobileye is an Israeli company founded in Jerusalem in 1999 by the computer scientist Amnon Shashua and the entrepreneur Ziv Aviram, built on the then-contrarian idea that a single camera and clever software could handle driver assistance without radar or lidar. Its EyeQ system-on-chip has shipped in more than two hundred million vehicles, making it the dominant supplier of vision-based driver assistance to the global car industry. Acquired by Intel for fifteen billion dollars in 2017 and returned to public markets in 2022, the company now sells escalating tiers from basic assistance through the SuperVision and Chauffeur hands-off systems up to the fully driverless Mobileye Drive platform.
