Zoox is a subsidiary of Amazon developing autonomous vehicles that provide Mobility-as-a-Service.
Zoox is creating an entirely new autonomous vehicle targeted at the robo-taxi market. The company’s approach is centered around the fact that a retrofitted vehicle is not optimized for autonomy. Zoox has applied the latest techniques in automotive, robotics and renewable energy to build a symmetrical, bi-directional battery-electric vehicle that solves for the unique challenges of autonomous mobility.
Zoox was founded to make personal transportation safer, cleaner, and more enjoyable—for everyone. To achieve that goal, the team created a whole new form of transportation.
Zoox will provide mobility-as-a-service in dense urban environments. We will handle the driving, charging, maintenance, and upgrades for our fleet of vehicles. The rider will simply pay for the service.
Zoox joined forces with Amazon. And in the process, solidified its future in the autonomous vehicle industry.
It’s focused on testing on private and public roads as we move towards launching the first Zoox ride-hailing service.
Zoox sits within the Amazon Devices & Services organization, alongside other cutting-edge Amazon units including Amazon Lab1.
