The goal is to launch a new automated ride hailing service, but the company conceded that autonomous package delivery could also be a viable use case.

Zoox, the self-driving startup Amazon acquired back in June, has unveiled its first autonomous vehicle. It’s not a car, nor a van, but rather a quirky looking robotaxi that resembles a little a minibus with a symmetrical design. According to the company’s own definition the vehicle is a driverless carriage: it sports an electrical motor at each end and can drive in both directions, with a maximum speed of 75 km/h and a range of up to 16hrs before recharging, thanks to a double battery placed under each seat. Zoox’s robotaxi will sit four and initially will be employed to launch a fully autonomous ride hailing service in cities like San Francisco and Las Vegas.
