Zoox Receives Approval to Deploy 5,000 Robotaxis

Amazon's autonomous vehicle subsidiary, Zoox, has secured a significant permit from the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) to expand its robotaxi operations. This approval allows the company to deploy up to 5,000 self-driving vehicles, expanding beyond its current testing phase to offer public rides and charge for its services. The move marks a key step in bringing fully autonomous ride-hailing to more areas.
