Last week, Zoox was given federal approval to finally charge customers for robotaxi rides in states that are cool with it. Before that, Zoox was offering free rides, but it recently got a waiver from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to allow it to deploy its bespoke robotaxis in commercial service. Now that it can charge customers, Zoox has released a full testing safety testing framework to ensure rides are as safe as possible moving forward and that its safety practices are transparent.
Right now, Zoox is only legally allowed to operate with paying customers in Las Vegas, because that's one of the two cities where its pilot program was active, and Nevada is currently the only state that permitted Zoox.
