Zoox, a subsidiary of Amazon, has recently entered the race to develop robotaxis, the futuristic form of transportation also known as self-driving taxis. With numerous technology companies actively researching this field, the concept of robotaxis holds immense potential for the future of transportation. Zoox’s entry into this competitive arena further emphasizes the growing interest and investment in advancing autonomous vehicle technology.

This robotaxi currently does not have a specific name but is collectively referred to as an electric self-driving vehicle. The US technology company said the taxi is equipped with a battery pack with a capacity of up to 133 kWh, allowing the car to operate continuously for 16 hours and the maximum speed can reach more than 120 km / h.

In terms of design, the car has a boxy design combined with 4 wheels at the typical corners of robotaxi lines. The overall length reaches 3,630 mm and the height at 1,936 mm. In general, this self-driving taxi is about the same size as small urban cars.

The wheels are powered by electric motors located on 2 axles. Notably, each wheel can be driven in two directions and steers itself, helping the robotaxi to move very flexibly.

Zoox’s taxi is equipped with a modern self-propelled system with 4 camera clusters, radar and LiDAR sensors arranged outside. This equipment helps to limit blind spots, allowing the control system to monitor traffic conditions around the vehicle at a distance of up to 150 m, including recognizing pedestrians, cyclists and other types of vehicles. .

Inside, the car’s cabin has 2 rows of seats with 4 spacious seats. Because it is an autonomous vehicle, there is no appearance of a tablo panel, a steering wheel or traditional control clusters. Passengers can enter and exit the vehicle through the automatic sliding door.

It is not clear when Zoox will put this robotaxi model into commercial use. The introduction of this vehicle can be seen as the next step in Amazon’s plan to build an autonomous electric vehicle ecosystem. In addition to Zoox, Amazon currently invests in electric vehicle start-up Rivian, researches and develops electric delivery minivans or has a stake in Aurora, which recently acquired Uber’s self-driving car business.
