The launch of Zoox’s much-awaited ride-hailing robotaxi service in Las Vegas
With room for up to four passengers at once, the Zoox robotaxis will travel three miles (4.8 kms). All trips will be provided free for at least the first several months to advertise the service in this really well-known vacation spot. Zoox promises that its rates will be in line with those of regular taxis and ride-hailing once it starts charging for rides in Las Vegas services like Uber and Lyft.
Amazon’s significant financial resources mostly underpin Zoox’s capacity to offer free rides. As part of its plan to move into several technical industries, the e-commerce powerhouse, presently valued at $2.5 trillion, Amazon acquired Zoox for $1.2 billion $29 Billion in stock
Zoox is manufacturing its robotaxis that have been created in a former bus factory, which is situated in Hayward, California. whereas Waymo has implemented its driverless technology in vehicles that are built by traditional automakers.
