Amazon’s self-driving startup, Zoox, is set to significantly increase its production of robotaxis as part of its strategy to expand commercially in the United States. The company plans to open a new facility in California’s Bay Area to boost production capacity from dozens to hundreds, and eventually thousands, of custom-built autonomous vehicles. The expansion supports Zoox’s goal to launch its autonomous fleet in major cities like Las Vegas and San Francisco, with public rides anticipated to begin soon. This strategic move is part of Amazon’s broader plan to assert its presence in the autonomous vehicle market.
