Zoox, an autonomous vehicle company, is coming to North Texas. <\/p>\n
The company contacted state regulators to let them know that autonomous testing of their fleet, with a safety operator, will commence this month. The fleet is only twelve vehicles.<\/p>\n
Zoox says they’ve also worked with city officials on first responder training, and they plan to work with the city more later this year. <\/p>\n
Zoox currently operates in Las Vegas, the San Francisco Bay Area, Austin, and Miami, with testing underway in six more cities, including Phoenix.<\/p>\n
Zoox did not say how much of the city it mapped; Waymo launched operations earlier this year and runs from Bishop Arts to just south of Dallas Love Field. Tesla’s robotaxis are available in Dallas, but only north of I-30. It’s unclear how the companies choose the areas designated for testing.<\/p>\n
Uber, through partnership with Avride, also offers driverless taxis in Dallas.<\/p>\n
