Zoox (AMZN) said on March 24, 2026, it will broaden public rides in Las Vegas and San Francisco, begin testing in Austin and Miami, and expand its fleet in existing cities while awaiting regulatory approval to charge fares.

Geographic and Fleet Expansion

Zoox plans to expand its robotaxi service to more areas in Las Vegas and San Francisco, where it first launched public rides in 2025. The company aims to grow its fleet in those cities to 100 vehicles, increasing service capacity and enabling more public trips.

Testing of Zoox’s purpose-built robotaxis will start in Austin, Texas, and Miami, Florida, as the company introduces its vehicles to new urban environments. These trials will precede commercial operations in both cities.

Commercial Rollout and Regulatory Approval

Zoox intends to offer paid rides in Austin and Miami later in 2026 through an early-rider program. This commercial rollout depends on securing regulatory approval to charge fares, which would allow the company to begin generating revenue from its robotaxi service in these markets.
