Amazon-owned Zoox has started deploying fully autonomous robotaxis in San Francisco, competing directly with Waymo in a well-established and highly regulated market, after gaining government exemption to operate commercially without traditional driver controls.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Micromobility, and 2 sources have reported it.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Deploying driverless cars without steering wheels in a tough market like San Francisco shows you must not just innovate but prove safety fast to challenge incumbents like Waymo. This is your moment to call local regulators and push for operational exemptions to gain early market access.
