Zoox Launches Robotaxi Testing in Houston

Zoox has begun on‑road robotaxi testing in Houston, marking the company’s first deployment in the United States. The move follows a year of rapid growth, with Zoox reporting its user base expanding faster than any other autonomous ride‑hailing operator and the introduction of a new robotaxi model. The Houston tests will allow the company to gather real‑world data, refine its autonomous driving software, and assess operational performance in a major U. S. market. The initiative positions Zoox as a serious contender in the evolving robotaxi landscape, alongside established players.
