Zoox vehicles began operating in Las Vegas starting September 10, offering free rides through the subsidiary Amazon company’s app.
The autonomous vehicle rides are available in the Las Vegas Strip area, but transportation cannot be made to just any location.
Users can choose destinations such as Resorts World Las Vegas, the AREA15 complex, Topgolf, and other entertainment venues.
The company announced that it will add more destinations for passengers starting in October. It aims to differentiate itself from other autonomous car services from companies like Waymo, May Mobility, and Tesla.
Unlike the previously mentioned companies, Zoox built a robotaxi from scratch for its transport service, measuring just over 3.5 meters long and using two electric motors.
The vehicle cabin has no steering wheel or pedals. The seats are positioned facing each other.
Although the service started for free, Zoox states that it will introduce paid rides once it obtains the “necessary regulatory approval.” The company plans to expand its services to San Francisco, Austin, and Miami.
