Zoox Expands Testing: Higher Speeds, Greater Coverage, Nighttime Driving
Zoox, Amazon's self-driving car unit, is expanding testing in California and Nevada with higher speeds (up to 45 mph), wider coverage (Las Vegas area from one to five miles), and nighttime driving. Zoox's vehicles lack manual controls. The company aims to compete with Waymo. Amazon acquired Zoox in 2020 for over $1 billion.
