Summary
Robotaxis are finally getting the regulatory green light to hit the streets without steering wheels or brake pedals—marking a seismic shift in automotive design and safety rules. Amazon’s Zoox, already offering free rides in Vegas and San Francisco, is now approved to charge passengers in its sleek, four-seater autonomous vehicles. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is moving to update decades-old regulations to fit self-driving tech, aiming to eliminate human error while grappling with limited crash data and inconsistent reporting. Despite hiccups like unexpected stops, the industry is booming—with Amazon betting big on mass production—and paving the way for a future where cars are built for autonomy from day one.
