  1. 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.

  6. 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. techcrunch.com/2026/03/31/robo #Tech #Startup #News #Robotics #Aurora #Waymo #Zoox

  7. #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. cnbc.com/2026/03/09/amazon-zoo #tech #media #news

  8. The Future of Transport is Here: Driverless Taxis in Las Vegas 🚕🤖⚡

    If you’ve ever imagined a world of autonomous "pods" whisking you through a neon-lit city, it’s no longer a movie plot—it’s a reality in Las Vegas. The ride-sharing landscape has officially shifted with the arrival of Zoox.

  9. 美國消費性電子展:全球大廠人形機器人秀巧手實力、Waymo新型無人計程車亮相

    中央通訊社 2026-01-09 10:39:00 CST
    本屆消費性電子展 (CES) 觀察到,人形機器人與自動駕駛為兩大焦點。多家廠商發表具備精細操作能力之機器人;新一代無人計程車則著重於降低成本、擴大部署,顯示相關技術與應用正加速發展。

  10. #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. fortune.com/2025/12/08/amazon- #tech #media #news

  11. 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

  12. 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.

  16. 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?

  17. 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?

    #Zoox #SelfDriving #TechPolicy #FutureOfTransport techcrunch.com/2025/09/24/zoox

  18. #Amazon’s #Zoox has launched its #robotaxi service in #LasVegas, offering free rides from select locations. The company, which was acquired by Amazon in 2018, is taking a unique approach by building its #ownvehicle from the ground up, rather than retrofitting existing cars. Zoox plans to expand its service to San Francisco, Austin, and Miami in the coming months. cnbc.com/2025/09/10/amazons-zo #tech #media #news

  19. Amazon's Zoox robotaxis are officially live & *free* on the Las Vegas Strip! No steering wheel, just AI, and a few previous "oops" moments (like that software recall). What happens in Vegas... stays between you and your robot driver, I guess? Would you ride?

    Zoox launched its fully autonomous ride-hailing services in Las V... - geekwire.com/2025/amazons-zoox #robotaxi #amazon #zoox

  21. If #AutonomousVehicles are going to be a thing, I hope they end up looking like the #Zoox, since (as this article mentions) a cute box on wheels is going to be far more #accessible than whatever #Tesla is doing with their sportscar design.

  22. Zoox, công ty con của Amazon, vừa khai trương nhà máy sản xuất robotaxi tại Hayward, California, với khả năng sản xuất 10.000 chiếc mỗi năm. Động thái này đưa Zoox vào vị trí cạnh tranh với các ông lớn trong ngành công nghiệp xe tự lái. #Zoox #Robotaxi #CôngNghệ #TựĐộng #SángTạo ift.tt/Z2SD8xV

  23. Zoox's 2nd software recall this month: an SF robotaxi moved post e-scooter collision. Update targets improved vulnerable user perception. AV safety refinement continues. #Zoox #Robotaxi #Recall

  24. Amazon’s Zoox is revving up the autonomous ride-hailing race with plans to massively expand its Robotaxi production in 2025. A new California facility aims to scale its unique, steering wheel-less vehicles, pushing toward commercial deployment in major U.S. cities.

  26. [電子報 ] AI 尚未全面取代工作、Amazon 進軍無人計程車、捷克的遊戲之光

    Link
    📌 Summary: 本篇電子報探討了AI對職業的影響、捷克遊戲公司Warhorse Studios的成功故事以及Amazon旗下無人計程車服務Zoox的進展。Anthropic的研究顯示AI雖然能影響多數職位,但更常見的是作為增強工具而非完全取代。Warhorse Studios則以其成功的遊戲《天國降臨:救贖》回本迅速,並講述了其背後的創業歷程。Zoox在自駕車市場展現獨特之處,專注於高密度都市及高收入客羣的服務模式,同時結合Amazon的技術優勢,為未來佈局打下基礎。

    🎯 Key Points:
    - AI 在工作中多半是增強而非取代,且大多數職業中只有小部分任務使用AI。
    - Anthropic的研究透過用戶與Claude的互動蒐集數據,揭示職業類別與AI使用比例。
    - Warhorse Studios成功打造了《天國降臨:救贖》並在短時間內回本,展示遊戲市場的潛力。
    - Zoox針對高密度都市的無人計程車服務,以創新的設計與高品質感測技術來提升乘客體驗。
    - Amazon收購Zoox是為了在競爭激烈的自駕車市場中搶佔先機並整合其商業模式。

  27. 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.
