Zoox blurs line between workers and crash test dummies in robo-taxi trial
Amazon’s robo-taxi division Zoox will be using employees as guinea pigs after the company completed the first trials of its driverless vehicle on public roads.by Amazon in 2020 for $1.3 billion, announced that over the weekend, its bug-shaped robo-tax had taken to the open road navigating a one-mile stretch connecting its two main buildings at its headquarters in Foster City, California. The company now plans to expand its service to full-time employees traveling between offices.
The company’s vehicles were designed from the ground up for driverless operation. As such, the cabs lack many of the features you’d find in a typical vehicle, like a steering wheel, gear shift, accelerator, or brake peddle. By stripping out these amenities, Zoox says it can cram up to four people. It also means that just the Johnny Cabs from Total Recall, there’s no way for Arnold — or anyone else for that matter — to take control and go for a joyride.
The company says the vehicle can travel at speeds up to 35MPH while navigating left and right-hand turns, traffic lights, bicyclists, vehicles, and other road users.
