The secretive startup has undergone a big management shakeup and surprise sale to Amazon. Now it's set to finally unveil its mysterious robotaxi.

in the self-driving car space relative to heavyweights including Alphabet’s Waymo and Cruise. Guided by Kentley Klay’s sci-fi vision for robotic driving he cofounded the company in 2014 with Stanford University computer scientist Jesse Levinson, promising a bespoke robotaxi with unique capabilities and rider amenities that Zoox would build inhouse.

Zoox and Cruise, unlike Waymo, prioritize having a fleet of purpose-built vehicles designed solely to operate as robotaxis. But whereas Cruise can rely on GM to supply its fleet and Waymo is buying tens of thousands of vehicles from automotive partners that it modifies for its fleet, Zoox is keeping vehicle production in-house.

“We have a vast, global tier-one supply chain that’s building parts of the vehicles. Think about it like, and I know I'm oversimplifying, a huge Lego–a multiton Lego,” Evans says. “You have the drive units, you have the body, you have the seating, the wheels, and all of that comes into the sub-big components. Then we snap them to grid and off it goes.
