Not always a fan of Amazon, but at least their robotaxi company Zoox has a very cool, futuristic design sense.
These apparently got a temporary exemption from some federal safety standards so they could start operating in Las Vegas.

NHTSA throws a batch of regulation exemptions Zoox's way including: Windshield washing and defrosting, reflective devices, rear visibility, glazing systems, brake systems, and WAIT for it - Occupant Crash Protection!
Zoox is limited to deploying ~2,500 vehicles annually for two years. Zoox is planning to begin charging for rides - first in Las Vegas, then elsewhere.

I am curious about using the new #Zoox service on future trips to the US, but their app is only available in the US App Store. I sent my feedback about this oversight, and let's just say that the response does not fill me with confidence about the quality of Zoox software…

#Tesla has 42 autonomous vehicles authorised for driverless ridehailing in #Texas, significantly fewer than #Waymo’s 577. While Tesla is counting on #robotaxis for future growth, it trails Waymo and other players like #AVRide and #Zoox in the Texas market. https://www.cnbc.com/2026/05/28/tesla-robotaxi-fleet-texas-one-tenth-size-of-waymos-filings-reveal.html?Pirates.BZ #Pirates #Tech #Startup #News

I love how the #Zoox vehicles actually look like they are designed for moving around an urban environment, and not just bolted onto vehicles meant for barreling down freeways at deadly speeds.
I just wish the company wasn't owned by #JeffBezos.

Robotaxi firms Aurora, Waymo, and Zoox refused to disclose how often their autonomous vehicles need remote human help during a Senate investigation led by Senator Ed Markey. The companies declined to provide specific intervention numbers despite growing regulatory pressure for transparency. https://techcrunch.com/2026/03/31/robotaxi-companies-refuse-to-say-how-often-their-avs-need-remote-help/ #Tech #Startup #News #Robotics #Aurora #Waymo #Zoox

#Amazon’s #Zoox is expanding its robotaxi testing to #Dallas and #Phoenix, deploying retrofitted Toyota Highlander SUVs with safety drivers to map the areas before introducing its toaster-shaped robotaxis. This expansion brings Zoox’s fleet to 10 US markets, including Las Vegas, San Francisco, Seattle, Austin, Miami, Los Angeles, Atlanta, and Washington, D.C. https://www.cnbc.com/2026/03/09/amazon-zoox-robotaxi-testing-phoenix-dallas.html?eicker.news #tech #media #news

#Zoox, #Amazon’s self-driving #robotaxi subsidiary, plans to start charging for rides in #LasVegas in early 2026 and in the #SanFrancisco Bay Area later that year. The company is focused on transporting people, not deliveries, and believes its purpose-built, driverless vehicles will offer a superior rider experience. https://fortune.com/2025/12/08/amazon-robotaxi-service-zoox-plans-fees-vegas-san-francisco/?eicker.news #tech #media #news

I love the design of #Zoox, since its vibe is more airport people mover than the same old vehicles that further entrench unsustainable private car ownership

Weekly output: Zoox, FCC on broadband, Trump 2.0 cybersecurity, NextGen Acela WiFi, Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses, Myriam Joire podcast
This was a big week for wrapping up stories that I had begun reporting out in a previous month–not September, but August. I’m now mostly caught up on those projects and behind on a post I owe from the cable-industry group SCTE’s conference in D.C. last week.
I also barely managed to avoid falling behind in my commitment to Patreon readers to write two exclusive posts a month: I published September’s second, a look at how some freelance tech journalists cover travel costs to events like IFA and MWC by arranging sponsorships from individual exhibitors, with less than seven hours left in the month.
9/30/2025: Amazon’s Zoox Launches First Stage of Robotaxi-Service Testing in DC, PCMag
Spending all of Monday at SCTE’s event meant that I had to finish writing this during the cocktail hour at a press dinner at All-Purpose across the street from the convention center.
10/1/2025: FCC Tries to Speed Up Broadband Buildouts But Cuts School Wi-Fi Support, PCMag
I spent much more time talking to Public Knowledge’s telecom-law expert Harold Feld than the brief quotes in this story might suggest–which happens every time I ask Harold if I can borrow some of his extensive insight for a story.
10/1/2025: U.S. cybersecurity was bad during the first Trump administration. Somehow, it’s getting worse, Fast Company
I started working on this before Black Hat, got some useful quotes for it during that security conference in Las Vegas, then quizzed a couple of experts in the weeks after, then got seriously sidetracked from being out of town for the first two weeks of September.
10/2/2025: I Tested the Wi-Fi on Amtrak’s NextGen Acela. Bad News: You No Longer Have an Excuse to Skip Work, PCMag
Amtrak took much longer than I expected to get back to me on some of the more technical questions I had after my introduction to NextGen Acela at the end of August, and then I realized that I could refresh my reporting and get some comparative data points about WiFi on Amtrak’s older Northeast Regional trains by making a quick trip to Baltimore and back on Monday afternoon.
10/4/2025: Want to Buy Meta’s Ray-Ban Display Smart Glasses? You May Have to Work For It, PCMag
My tech-analyst friend Avi Greengart’s LinkedIn post about his unsuccessful attempt to buy a pair of these augmented-reality glasses struck me as newsworthy to reshare on that platform. I also shared it on PCMag’s Slack, and one of my colleagues then suggested there was a post to be written about Meta’s weird retail-distribution strategy.
After years of showing up at the same tech events with my friend and fellow avgeek Myriam, I finally showed up on her podcast. Among many other topics we discussed, I particularly appreciated our exchange about the possibile utility of smart glasses; she’s more optimistic about their odds of becoming a consumer-scale gadget than I am, but we agree that Meta is not the ideal company to champion this category.

Zoox is setting up its next autonomous vehicle testbed in Washington D.C., starting with street mapping. Imagine the traffic debates when the cars have their own AI opinions. Is D.C. ready for a fleet of robotaxis?

Amazon's Zoox is pushing the boundaries of autonomous tech, seeking federal permission to launch robotaxis without pedals or a steering wheel. Bold move or a regulatory headache in the making? What's your comfort level with a car that truly drives itself?
