Inside the Design of Zoox, Amazon's Quirky, Self-Driving Car

23 May 2022 | Abstracted from Fast Company

"First founded in 2014 and acquired by Amazon in 2020 for $1.2 billion, Zoox has spent nearly the last decade building an autonomous vehicle from scratch. Their goal is not to sell the car, but to build the rideshare service of tomorrow to challenge Uber and Lyft."

"Without being integrated into the body of the car, the pods --[estimated to be serviceable up to 400k miles] -- can easily be pulled out for repair, or upgraded as technology advances."
