#zoox — Public Fediverse posts

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.

Panasonic to supply batteries for Amazon’s Zoox robotaxis in 2026

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.

10/6/2025: MediaTek Dimensity 9500 in depth, Meta Ray-Ban Display, Xiaomi 17 Pro and Pro Max, Xiaomi 15T series, OnePlus 15 teaser, Realme GT 8 Pro leaks, CMF Headphone Pro, and more with Siegfried Chang and Rob Pegoraro – Mobile Tech Podcast 447, Myriam Joire

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.

Weekly output: Qualcomm’s connected-home vision, BMW’s Panoramic iDrive, Zoox’s robotaxis, Delta at the Sphere, Better Offline, Red Bull Ford Powertrains

This would have been a long week with CES alone, but nine hours after my flight back from Vegas touched down at Dulles I was on my way into D.C.  for ShmooCon. How could I not? I’ve learned an enormous amount since I first covered that security conference in 2019–and this weekend’s edition was the con’s final go-round.

1/6/2025: Qualcomm’s Smart Home Vision Includes TVs That Read Your ‘Emotional State’, PCMag

I got a head start on my CES coverage with this post I filed from home after getting embargoed copies of Qualcomm’s CES announcements.

1/8/2025: BMW Unveils Smartphone-Inspired Panoramic iDrive Dashboard, PCMag

I started Tuesday by going to the German automaker’s introduction of this driver interface, which featured comedians Tim Meadows and Ken Jeong leading a schtick in which they, the BMW executives onstage and those of us in the stands had all been shrunk down to about smartphone size.

1/8/2025: Taking a Robotaxi From Amazon-Owned Zoox for a Spin on the Vegas Strip, PCMag

My second stop in Vegas, after a quick check-in at my hotel, was to this robotaxi service’s offices to get a test ride in its autonomous vehicle–where I was delighted to see that the other journalist joining me in the car would be my long-ago Yahoo colleague Dan Howley. This became my second story datelined from Vegas this week after I needed clarification on a couple of points from Zoox.

1/8/2025: Delta Tips AI-Powered Concierge, In-Flight YouTube, More at Flashy CES Event, PCMag

The Delta Air Lines keynote introduced me to the Sphere, but only after getting to that venue reintroduced me to how utterly awful Vegas traffic can be during CES–the “Tech Express” shuttle needed more than 50 minutes to crawl the 1.3 miles from the Las Vegas Convention Center to the Venetian. The production values of Delta’s event were fantastic, but the substance of the announcements didn’t live up to that standard. Two aviation journalists who have covered the airline far longer than I have, Brett Snyder and Seth Miller, came away almost entirely unimpressed.

1/9/2025: Better Offline CES 2025: Day 4 – Pt. 2, Ed Zitron

Ed, a longtime tech publicist and more recent scourge of how growth-at-all-costs tech companies are ruining the digital world, invited me to join his podcast sometime when I was at CES, and I picked the last slot available–4:30 to 5 p.m. Thursday. Skip ahead to almost the 1:11 mark to hear my conversation with Ed and fellow CES journalists Ed Ongweso, Jr. and David Roth.

1/10/2025: Red Bull and Ford are building a new F1 hybrid race car engine—first as bits, then atoms, Fast Company

I started work on this piece months ago and then kept putting it off as I had other Fast Company projects with less flexible deadlines demand my attention first, then finally wrote and filed it the day after Christmas–just in time for it to get caught up in the publication’s winter break.
