Zoox robotaxi

   Regulator-cleared or mass marketThis robot

   A regulator has cleared it where approval applies: FDA clearance or approval for a medical robot, a permit to run with no one aboard for a self-driving vehicle, or an FAA approval for routine drone flights. Or: Widely sold: sales in the hundreds of thousands, or a product category you can buy in ordinary shops.

   Placed by: NHTSA, the US road-safety agency, gave Zoox a temporary exemption from eight federal vehicle safety standards written for cars with drivers. It allows up to 2,500 Zoox robotaxis a year for two years, so Zoox can charge fares (30 July 2026).
