Zoox tests self-driving cars on public roads with employees as passengers
February 14, 2023Autonomous vehicle start-up, Zoox, has successfully conducted a self-driving test on public roads in San Francisco with its own employees as passengers.
The test involved a fleet of Zoox's self-driving vehicles navigating through the city's complex and dynamic urban environment, with the cars successfully identifying and avoiding pedestrians, other vehicles, and obstacles.
Zoox's unique bi-directional design enables the car to drive forward and backward, which can help it to avoid getting stuck in tricky parking spots.
The test is a significant milestone for the company, which is aiming to launch an autonomous ride-hailing service in 2022.
Zoox is hoping that the test will help it to refine and improve its autonomous driving technology, as it works towards its ultimate goal of making transportation safer and more sustainable.
