Nuro, founded by former Google self-driving car project veterans, aims to be a strong No. 2 in the robotaxi market, learning from Waymo's experiences. The company has partnered with Uber and Lucid to deploy thousands of robotaxis, with plans to launch in San Francisco this year.
Zoox, eine Amazon-Tochter, bietet autonome Fahrzeuge in Las Vegas an, aber mit Einschränkungen im Gegensatz zu Waymo. Die App ist nur in US-App-Stores verfügbar und der Dienst arbeitet stationenbasiert, nicht frei wie Waymo.
Zoox, acquired by Amazon in 2020, is offering ride-hailing services in Las Vegas, San Francisco, and Austin with purpose-built robotaxis that feature a unique bidirectional design, corner-mounted sensors, and redundant systems. Unlike competitors retrofitting existing vehicles, Zoox's sci-fi-inspired pods prioritize maneuverability in dense urban areas with unmatched agility.
