An autonomous vehicle company acquired this year by Amazon
has unveiled a four-person “robo-taxi," a compact, multidirectional
vehicle designed for dense, urban environments.
The carriage-style interior of the vehicle produced by Zoox
Inc. has two benches that face each other. There is no steering wheel. It
measures just under 12 feet long, about a foot shorter than a standard Mini
Cooper.
It is among the first vehicles with bidirectional
capabilities and four-wheel steering, allowing for better manoeuvrability. It
has a top speed of 75 miles per hour.
The vehicle is being tested in the company's base of Foster
City, California, as well as Las Vegas and San Francisco, Zoox said Monday.
Zoox, based Foster City in Silicon Valley, was founded in
2014 and acquired by Amazon in June. It operates as an independent subsidiary
at Amazon.
