Zoox expands commercial robotaxi service to Las Vegas airport

  • Zoox expanded paid Las Vegas robotaxi rides to Harry Reid International Airport.
  • Amazon shares traded at $258.73, up 1.47%, near $259 resistance.
  • Tesla, Uber and Waymo received Nevada permits for Clark County operations.

Zoox is expanding its commercial robotaxi service in Las Vegas to include rides to and from Harry Reid International Airport beginning Thursday. Its purpose-built vehicles will pick up and drop off passengers near baggage claim at both terminals, offering a more direct airport option than Uber and Lyft, whose pickup point is in a nearby parking garage. Amazon shares traded at $258.73, up 1.47%, and were approaching $259 resistance, with $258 and $257 identified as short-term support levels. The expansion follows a temporary two-year federal exemption covering eight vehicle safety standards and permitting Zoox to deploy up to 2,500 vehicles despite its robotaxis lacking a steering wheel and conventional pedals. Zoox began charging for rides on August 10, plans testing in San Diego and Houston, and has released a safety framework. Tesla, Uber and Waymo have received Nevada permits for commercial robotaxi services in Clark County, potentially enabling up to 8,000 vehicles there over the next 12 months.
