The race for fully autonomous taxis and cars has taken another step forward in Las Vegas.
Zoox, an autonomous vehicle company and a subsidiary of Amazon, announced Tuesday that its fully autonomous driverless robotaxis have been driving on public roads in Nevada since June 16.
The company said that the driverless cars have been driving employees on a one-mile loop, at speeds up to 35 miles-per-hour, around the Zoox offices in the Southwest part of the Las Vegas Valley, according to a Zoox spokesperson.
