Is Zoox Starting Test Drives in LA?

Is Amazon subsidiary Zoox also slowly preparing test drives and the possible launch of a robot taxi fleet in the Los Angeles metropolitan area? Zoox has already begun its first public rides with its specially designed driverless robot taxi in Las Vegas, and San Francisco is also being targeted, possibly even before the end of this year. This would make sense, as it would allow the Toyota Highlanders currently used as test mules in Las Vegas and San Francisco to be brought to other cities and regions to begin mapping trips. At least, that’s what the sighting of a car transporter with at least two Zoox test vehicles suggests.

This autotransporter with at least two Zoox test mules was spotted on I5 on August 16th, 2025 around 6:49pm PST.
