Uber Strikes Deal With Amazon’s Zoox to Offer Robotaxi Rides

Uber and Amazon’s Zoox have signed a multiyear partnership to integrate Zoox’s autonomous robotaxis into Uber’s ride-hailing platform, marking a major expansion in self-driving mobility services. The collaboration launches this summer in Las Vegas, with Zoox’s fully autonomous vehicles available for hailing via the Uber app, offering customers a driverless ride option. Los Angeles will follow in 2027, becoming the second city where Uber users can access Zoox’s robotaxis, signaling a phased rollout of the autonomous service. This deal accelerates Uber’s shift toward autonomous fleets, reducing reliance on human drivers while leveraging Zoox’s advanced self-driving technology and Amazon’s infrastructure. The partnership underscores growing industry consolidation, as tech giants collaborate to dominate the emerging robotaxi market amid regulatory and technical hurdles.
