Zoox Inches Closer to Autonomous Vehicles Commercial Approval

This article examines how Autonomous Vehicles progress from research to paid service, using Zoox as the case study. NHTSA’s August decision granted Zoox a rare demonstration exemption.

The exemption covers research and public demonstrations only. Therefore, the vehicles may not yet collect fares.
