Amazon’s Zoox Launches Robotaxi Rides for All Users in Las Vegas

[cryptohog]

Amazon-owned startup Zoox, which develops autonomous electric vehicles, has officially rolled out its robotaxi service for all users in Las Vegas, according to The Verge.

How it works

Passengers can order a ride directly through the Zoox app.

For now, the service is free of charge while the company awaits regulatory approval to begin collecting fares, Reuters notes.

The fleet currently includes about 50 vehicles, most of them operating in Las Vegas.

Pickup and drop-off points are limited to select locations during the initial rollout.

Expansion plans

Zoox says the next city on its roadmap is San Francisco, where testing is already underway. Interested passengers can join a waitlist.

By late 2025 and early 2026, Zoox plans to expand further to Miami, Austin, Atlanta, and Los Angeles.

About the robotaxi

Amazon acquired Zoox in June 2020.

That same year, the startup unveiled a fully autonomous electric vehicle without a driver’s cabin, capable of carrying four passengers and operating up to 16 hours on a single charge.

In Las Vegas, Zoox has been testing its robotaxis since 2023, with a pilot launch in early 2025, TechCrunch reported.
