Zoox robotaxis to be deployed on the Uber network in Las Vegas starting this summer and in Los Angeles in 2027
SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Zoox and Uber Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: UBER) today announced a strategic partnership to deploy Zoox purpose-built robotaxis on Uber.
The partnership is planned to launch in Las Vegas this summer and in Los Angeles by mid-2027. The Zoox robotaxis will be available through the Uber app. After launch, Uber riders will have the opportunity to be matched with a Zoox robotaxi on eligible trips. Zoox will continue to offer its service through the Zoox app in both Las Vegas and Los Angeles, in addition to offering rides through Uber.
Zoox robotaxis are unique in that they are not retrofitted passenger cars. Instead, they are built specifically for ride-hailing and designed for comfort, conversation, and connection with friends and family. This is the first time Zoox is partnering with a third-party platform like Uber.
“We are excited to partner with Uber, a company that shares our vision for transforming mobility,” said Aicha Evans, CEO of Zoox. “This partnership is an opportunity to continue advancing the use of autonomous mobility in daily life. Through our collaboration, Zoox will provide a differentiated rider experience to those who already know and love the convenience of riding with Uber." (....)
