Amazon's robotaxi subsidiary, developing a purpose-built, steering-wheel-free autonomous vehicle rather than retrofitting existing car models. Zoox unveiled a redesigned, 'production-intent' version of its robotaxi on June 24, 2026 ahead of a wider US commercial rollout planned for later in 2026, with capacity to build up to 100 vehicles per week; the company is awaiting NHTSA approval to operate as many as 2,500 self-driving cars commercially, and voluntarily recalled 105 robotaxis in July 2026 after a software issue caused vehicles to fail to detect and drive into heavy smoke.
