Overview

• The 220,000-square-foot Hayward site marks Zoox’s first purpose-built U.S. production facility with capacity to assemble over 10,000 driverless pods annually.
• Zoox will oversee in-house assembly, software and hardware integration, end-of-line testing and full fleet operation under one roof.
• Each four-seat pod relies on a combination of lidar, radar and camera sensors to navigate autonomously without steering wheels or pedals.
• Zoox is ramping up tests in San Francisco and running a limited fleet on the Las Vegas Strip ahead of its commercial launch.
• Competitors such as Waymo have expanded paid autonomous rides in multiple U.S. markets while Tesla is preparing a driverless service in Austin.
