Zoox, an Amazon-owned autonomous vehicle company, is expanding its testing operations to Dallas, Texas, and Phoenix, Arizona. The company has deployed Toyota Highlander SUVs to these cities to collect data and familiarize its self-driving software with the unique characteristics of these new markets. Zoox aims to eventually launch its purpose-built robotaxis in these areas, creating hundreds of new jobs and offering a futuristic transportation option to residents. While awaiting federal approvals and local agency permissions for commercial operation, Zoox remains at the forefront of the autonomous vehicle industry with its innovative approach to urban mobility.
