Two stories report that Amazon’s autonomous driving subsidiary Zoox is accelerating its driverless vehicle trials on Los Angeles streets. The articles detail how the company is rolling out retrofitted autonomous vehicles in a live urban environment to collect valuable data ahead of a broader public rollout. This testing phase emphasizes Zoox’s commitment to overcoming real-world challenges, refining its safety protocols and operational systems in a city chosen for its diverse traffic conditions and regulatory framework.
The Amazon-owned company plans to launch its fully autonomous driving option there later this summer.
Zoox, Amazon’s autonomous vehicle unit, is testing retrofitted vehicles on LA streets as it gathers data. This marks the company’s entry into a sixth city and is a step toward offering public rides in Las Vegas and San Francisco later this year.
