- This is not a concept car, this is the world’s first purpose fully autonomous robot taxi created by Zoox and today it’s taking me on the busy roads of Las Vegas.
The bi-directional fully electric, fully autonomous vehicle has no steering wheel and comes with a top speed of 75mph. It will be hitting the roads of Las Vegas before being rolled out in San Fransisco. I had a look behind the scenes at some of the tech involved to create it and at how you can hail the robotaxi through the Zoox app.

We're living in the future!! 🤯 What do you guys think of Zoox?! This might be my new way to get around town... 🚕
Come back soon!!!
🏍️🚘
Back to the future 😊
Cars to the future cars? 😂😂
Nah I only trust myself driving hate "smart" cars
She end up not explaining the main reason why the car is symmetrical. It's mainly because of production cost reasons.
One of the things that make a car expensive to produce is the molds made to produce the body panels. They are VERY expensive. Which is one of the reasons a car is only cost effective if made in large numbers. So in order to make it cheaper to produce, the best way is to cut on the quantity of molds. Also since the glasses used are also symmetrical, this also helps reduce cost of production (car glass is also very expensive to produce).
With the car being symmetrical, you cut the cost of molds and glass by half. Plus it becomes cheaper to replace parts, since you have way more similar parts that can be used on several cars, on both sides, front or back. Instead of needing that one specific new piece that only fits on that one specific place in the car.
The same principle as the Citroën Ami in Europe. 👍🏻
This is crazy. I really want to see this develop to the point where this is a mainstream technology.
We're working on it!
@@ZooxCZcams Oh nice! Will this extend eventually into outside of the US? I get that it will definetely take a very long time but will that happen or is it only US based?
It's already mainstream in chinese cities
It basically already is.
@@mugil5116 Wow
It doesn't matter whether it would be a Ferrari, a simple Ford truck, fuel or electric engines: they all became obsolete! A car like this means no need to buy a car for most people. And for those that use cars all day long it should a more economical option, and without any hidden costs nor liabilities. Wonderful!
Yes!
I see this replacing cars in a lot of urban areas but in suburban neighborhoods and out in the middle of nowhere their effectiveness might really start to drop off compared to personal owned vehicles, say for example a lawn care business that needs to carry around lawn mowers and weed wackers, or a family that is late to an event and doesn't have time to wait for a zoox to come to their house first
That’s dramatic. It’s a driverless taxi, nothin more nothing less. If you think I’m wrong I’d love to know why.
no you will have car abonemang same as phone family abonemang
Fools, urban areas have way more congestion and people or streets without lines and obstacles this would never work stop the nonsense, what will people do when they have multiple places to go to and park at the mall and come back with bags, or people who leave filth or nasty things inside. This will never work especially in a high traffic area and what die it do I a snow storm or hard rain or if the electricity goes out this thing is no good. 😂😅
We are living in the future
What you think 1900s were?
And it sucks give me a 1971 lincon continental
It's incredible how far technology has come. Bravo zooks!
It’s zoox
Whatever it is... ITS GOING TO KILL A LOT OF PEOPLE!😂
This is simply a magnificent and outstanding piece of technology. I sincerely hope that I will live to see the day when this kind of driving becomes the norm. I drive a W222 S560 4matic - but I'd swap it for this coach in a heartbeat for city driving.
A moment of silence for uber drivers
Finally freed.
This legit looks a convenient way to commute, i can see it being actually useful than just being gimmicky, it doesn't deviate away from the whole idea of taxi and that's the reason for having good potential for future, but one thing to see in future is whether zoox can survive due to other companies being keen on developing their own tech, and also zoox has to think about the conventional taxi industry, which involves multi billion dollar companies like uber, and also all the drivers who would show heavy resistance to this tech, and all the taxi hailing companies joining hands in crushing this tech, or they may just end up joining hands with zoox..... I think a hybrid model where both taxi drivers and driverless taxis exist should be there,
The one thing I see happening is people thinking they are all alone while the microphone is on without their knowledge! The laws will be slow catching up to this technology!
I actually appreciate talking to human drivers in new locations. Great way to learn about a new area. I also appreciate helping the little guy earn a living.
You aren't helping them earn a living, you are helping a system of slavery continue.
You could also just as well talk to a bot about the local area.
Perfect for drunk person and to those busy person whose unable to pick up someone. 😊
The vehicle should have the old school black and yellow checkered cab paint job. 😎Nice review!
A few cities in China have been operating driverless taxis for many years.
This is nice to see! Love that it was purpose built and it looks like a great rider experience.
Tesla draws maps on its own based the place its on. Needs no map or no predefined routes required.
Thanks for the video AND this history lesson too! I can't wait for them to come to San Diego.
This Robotaxi is insane! 🤯👍✨
You need to try the world first flying taxi at shenzhen china. Cause robot taxi is already common in china.
China has been using such taxi and I have seen it on video yet she is claiming this one to be the world-first robotaxi. Jeez!
@@youme1414she did clarify after that it's the first purpose built robotaxi.
Yeah but when you look at China, all the Tech and fashion, it all looks like 'American Instagram aesthetics' 😂
even their kids dress like American Instagrammers 😂 Many of them came to American tech schools, they saw the materials in American iPhones and started making all their new architecture and technology look the same. 😂
@@p.ipebombthey come to America to learn English and not tech, stop lying. That is why most of your tech gadgets including the phone you’re typing from is produced in china
@@ahmad305 The first purpose built bus, van or robotaxi whatever you call it were definitely in China, probably in Guangzhou. The videos are still on youtube. Just type "driverless bus guangzhou" in "search" youtube. They look exactly like the current one she is showing. Apolong by Baidu. Some as old as two to three years old.
what a nice robotaxi zoox, so cool👋🏻👋🏻
The taxi drivers might damage those Robo taxi 😂😂
Truly amazing 😊
I think the inspired by a horse and carriage design thing is an after thought to make it sound nice. It couldn’t “literally” look like anything unless you just mean cosmetic choices. An autonomous car is going to either look much like a normal car or it will feel more like a small light rail carriage. Once you get rid of the traditional car design it would come down to how many people you want to fit in it. This seems like a pretty obvious, practical way to set it up, 4 seats facing the middle with sliding doors on both sides. I would be surprised if other aspiring robo taxi companies havent done hundreds of similar drawings in planning their own vehicles.
Might be cool one day, but I'd still like to have a sportscar to enjoy 👌
So happy to be alive to witness this
this is brilliant, can't wait to commute with this kind of things
Out of any company doing autonomous vehicles, I’m most excited about Zoox. Feel like they have the most innovative design that really takes advantage of the tech. No front or back, passengers facing each other, etc.
They copied the Chinese design
So apart from the touchscreen, this could be great for vision-impared, elderly and wheelchair users.
It also look big enough to take a standard pallet so could do "lastmile" deliverys to businesses as a side-hussle
Wonderful product i must agree
Automated vehicles are totally cool…so futuristic and convenient. Amazing tech! ❤
The fact that a Zoox recording car drove by WHILE you were reviewing it is such a coincidence: 9:50
Love how when the car pulled up there was an airplane sound in the background 😄
Awesome ❤🔥
JohnnyCab: “We hope you enjoyed the riiiiiiiide!”
Haha…boom
It's not a car! It's a modern day horseless carriage dah!
I love it
SoO CooL. Carriage style is eXcellent.
The Zoox autonomous taxi represents a significant step forward in the realm of driverless technology. Its sleek, symmetrical design is built from the ground up to prioritize passenger comfort and safety. The vehicle's ability to navigate complex urban environments without human intervention showcases impressive advancements in AI and robotics. It's exciting to see how Zoox is paving the way for a future where transportation is more efficient, environmentally friendly, and accessible. This video provides a fascinating glimpse into the future of urban mobility.
Love this
Outstanding!
For non US folks, you can generally turn right on red unless posted otherwise.
Would love to see these in Dubai.
I need to buy some of this, I'm sick and tired of driving everyday 😂
yow thats so cool😮
that's amazing
Great video ❤
Love Zoox been following them for a while. I hope they come to Australia!
cool stuff
My grandmother used to say, "Showing your money is like showing your underwear." How ironic people these days show their underwear to make money.
😂 your grandmother probably had dirty underwear 💩
Not World's First Tho! Good Video ...
Excellent
Technology is phenomenal. I would be nervous. My very first time letting the automobile control all the situations. I’m sure it does work though. It would be kind of interesting to see. Very interesting.
Cute looking Car btw.❤
it looks very cool I can't wait this I hope zoox comes to new York
It’s the ‘Frunk’ and the ‘Brunt’ 🤣🤣🤣
You guys on fire 🔥💜💙
amazing 🎉❤
Super
Versions of these been in China couple years back
This is actually in China first before the rest of the world starting doing it.
Rubbish, they started operating in 2023 and there are other ones that have been operating since 2017. Look at the Robotaxi wiki.
@@harrisonofthenorth Operating in road? No way.. I think he is right. Look for videos
@@harrisonofthenorthlol, arrogant much ?
China already has purpose built from the ground up taxis operational within specific cities, it’s even bigger than this!!
Y’all just don’t want to agree China is more advanced than the America lol!
@@outterstellercan you share the video of this? Especially on the road itself?
@@outterstelleris there any of those 1 hour cam videos where they just drive around? Like for trains, cars , cyclists who stream what they are doing?
I want a tour of Vegas in that car.
Bangalore roads could prove the ultimate test for it .... bring it on here.
"Design a new car every year and say, 'Is this the future?""
Crazy the future ❤
Carriage!? I was sure it was a toaster.
I'd kill to ride this robo taxi. I'd happily ride zoox all the time, I hope portland oregon gets the zoox robotaxi.
Looks comfortable with that armrest at head height.
What a new make hoo I love it
You need to try Waymo in Phoenix. There are plenty of them out there.
I want this as soon as I get my driver's license please and thanks this Robo taxi made me speechless oh my God
??? as soon this is common, no one needs a drivers license anymore....
@@josefv8708
Some of us still prefer to drive.
You just need to be able to pay to use this, you don’t need a drivers license.
Amazing ❤ but in fact i became afraid of the future 😊 because if something exceed its limit , it turns into its opposite...
I live in the future too, the old buses with smelly exhausts are getting replaced with new comfy ones 😄 but not the hydrogen ones that the government was promising.
The black bar above the head lamp, behind the passanger back is the good spot for advertisements. Hope this can subsidize the cost
Best channel in the world ❤
I have a thought? Has this car been tested for accident scenarios?
Just say another car hits it what are its maneuvers to take the clients to safety?
What if the temperature goes down to zero, electronics are affected so would this car be a seasonal or an all round weather car .
Imagine you using phones and other devices, are they any interceptions that may affect its AI systems 🤔
Looks cute! Hope it does better than the self-driving taxis in San Francisco…🤣🤣 Those wheels on the corner… Fender bender will immobilize it immediately…
You trust this car. Not the other drivers on road. Somewhat scary to ride.
Turning right on a red light is nation wide not just random states.
this is a great company. I will use this robotaxi for sure. if its cheap
Great videos
This car is very interesting.
It's cool
Oh shucks! Blondie, I thought it had wings- on it!
My girlfriend works for them here in Vegas. How cool SuperCar Blondie was here
You could have left the "Angry driver" part out. A lot of ride share drivers are great drivers and don't even get payed enough for it. What would most people do in 2024 without ride share? Ride share is an important fabric of transportation these days. For you to make that statement without considering low pay, ANGRY passengers who vomit in your car, and a list of countless others things, Id say if you catch a driver on a bad day, there's a pretty legit reason for it and its nothing personal. I just found gum smeared all on my backseat floor and guess who won't be getting payed for the damage! And what do you know, here's another example why drivers could get "ANGRY" Its so lovely to see robots replacing us!
People back in 1985 from who created "back to the future" Must see how 2024 future cars have been made 😂😂😂😂
So when a road changes or there is construction, how does the mapped out system work?
Looking GoOdGiRl🇺🇲☀️
Agreed! I think she looks more fit - looks great.
technologies of the future) next gen)
Crazy 😅
it's not the world's first robotaxi. Waymo has been running for years.
I like it! It's futuristic and efficient. We need this to go country wide in America.
I hope they have plans to deal with the vomits of drunk people in real-life use. If they don't clean these often, it will be very uncomfortable for the customers.
I must say, I have reservations about the feasibility of autonomous driving on UK roads. The driving conditions here present significant challenges for such technology.
Waymo is fully-automated driverless taxi.
looks cool but I am more excited for the Verne taxi
Phoenix/Tempe/Mesa need you!
Nice car ❤
why are you doing infomercials now
So i live in Vegas and see the zoox prototypes driving around all the time when are the driverless taxies going to be available to the public?
