Zoox's pill-shaped robotaxis become latest self-driving cars to hit California's streets
Briefly

"Since 2017, our test fleet has autonomously navigated San Francisco streets with a safety driver. Now that we've passed all critical safety measures, we are excited to begin testing our robotaxi in this wonderful city." - Zoox CEO Aicha Evans
"To us, a better ride meant creating an environment similar to a lounge where social connections stick and everyday activities aren't interrupted. It had to be face-to-face." - Chris Stoffel, director of studio engineering
Zoox vehicles were custom built for self-driving and feature no traditional manual controls - not even a steering wheel. Waymo, on the other hand, uses the commercially available Jaguar I-Pace SUVs outfitted with sensors.
During the day, Zoox riders can view the sky through the sunroof, while at night the ceiling is illuminated with small, twinkling lights à la a starry sky.
