The inside story on designing and building Zoox. Chris Stoffel, our Director of Studio Engineering, and Andy Piper, our VP of Vehicle Development, explain why we took the hard road of building our vehicle from the ground up.

This is breathtaking - thank you for your transparency, and for letting all of us be a part of it!

[@davidjefferies9214]

May you be extremely successful in this endeavor!

[@Navpaper]

Looks better than i thought it would look like

[@andrewcutler4599]

Urban driving is so mentally demanding. Great to have that time back!

[@Butlinsgvn6]

Very cool. But I’m skeptical about the seating arrangement, don’t most people like to face the direction of travel?

[@davilada]

This is my dream vehicle and I don’t have too many dreams.

time travelers from centuries ago will be amazed at finally a real horseless, driverless carriage

See You Micro Manufacturing Program.❤🎉❤.

what if these were solar powered

So this is a fancy auto-drive taxi for people who hate to take a bus?

[@matthewv789]

Not just that but door-to-door, which buses are not.

[@godspeedfreeman1191]

Huge fan

Taxi 😂się właśnie 🎉🎉🎉skończyło😂świetny projekt 🎉🎉🎉

[@invalid5777]

Cool!

[@richardskaff1]

Yeah, breathtaking that Zoox is building a vehicle from the ground up that's completely inaccessible to those who use wheelchairs or electric scooters for mobility. Blatant discrimination!

[@dlwatib]

Sounds superficially logical, but highly questionable. Clearly traditional car shapes are fit for purpose, and even your own test mules prove that you don't need a special vehicle shape for optimum sensor placement. You say the vehicle can go 75 mph, but clearly it's not designed for speed. It looks more like something that will never leave an airport parking lot loop.

[@dv9239]

Umm 40mph is enough for a city taxi

You have to learn how to walk before you can run 😉
