Despite lagging \u200bbehind industry leader Alphabet’s Waymo in robotaxi deployment, Zoox has \u200bbeen gradually expanding operations, launching limited services in Las Vegas \u2060and a pilot rider program in San Francisco late last \u200byear.<\/p>\n
Zoox said on Monday it will expand testing to Dallas and Phoenix, along \u200bwith launching a command hub for fleet operations in Arizona.
\nThe deal also adds to a flurry of partnerships between ride-hailing platforms and autonomous vehicle developers as the \u200bsector races toward commercialisation. With its partnership with 25 autonomous vehicle technology \u200bdevelopers, Uber already offers rides in cities like Phoenix, Austin, Atlanta and Dubai, \u200cand \u2060plans to expand to 15 cities globally by the end of 2026. The company aims to be the largest facilitator of such trips in the world by 2029.<\/p>\n
