Amazon subsidiary Zoox on March 9 announced it was launching operations for its autonomous ride-sharing service in Phoenix, as well as expanding its robotaxi testing program to Dallas.
Zoox said it will also launch new depots in both cities, as well as a fusion center facility in Scottsdale, Arizona, that will handle a range of functions, including rider support and teleguidance to deliver real-time human oversight in complicated driving scenarios that the autonomous vehicles’ artificial intelligence may struggle with, such as construction zones or road closures.
