Streaming, eCommerce and now robotaxis: Amazon is already testing
Amazon's electric and autonomous robotaxis developed by Zoox are already undergoing their first tests on public roads in California (USA), and with employees of the logistics company as passengers. And it's just the beginning. These futuristically designed vehicles without a steering wheel or pedals can transport up to four passengers divided into two rows of seats facing each other and want to be the next public service robotaxis in the US. On the way to a public robotaxis service Amazon bought Zoox for $1.2 billion in June 2020, an autonomous vehicle company. Back then we hardly knew that this type of electric and autonomous minibuses measuring 3.5 m long by almost 2 m high had no controls and promised to be able to travel in reverse… at speeds of up to 120 km/h.

In fact, the tests with this robotaxis that Cell Phone Number List were carried out on February 11 between two Zoox buildings separated by just a kilometer and a half at its headquarters in Foster City (California), are the prelude to the upcoming launch of a free service of employee transportation “that will also help the company perfect its technology,” according to Amazon. They have two-way driving capability and four-wheel drive. In these first tests they have traveled at a maximum of 60 km/h, although they can reach 120 km/h, so it could handle interurban journeys.

In addition, Amazon already announced that the Zoox “could develop an SAE level 5 level of autonomous driving.” And to achieve this it uses an arsenal of radar and LIDAR sensors as well as several cameras that allow it to “see” at a distance of more than 150 m and 360º. Zoox Open Roads 23 02 004 According to Bloomberg, the success of this first test has led the company to seek to “request the corresponding permits to be able to take this idea to the public level, and create a kind of autonomous taxi division”, in the style of what Geely vehicles offer. and Waymo . For example, in Phoenix (Arizona), this type of transportation has long been available as an alternative to conventional taxis and VTCs . And it is not the only one (for example Cruise, a General Motors company, operates driverless taxis in San Francisco). Zoox Open Roads 23 02 008 It seems that the future in which we can travel in a taxi without the need for it to be driven by a person is getting closer and closer. At least, on the other side of the pond, and when legislation allows it.
