Zoox begins supervised robotaxi testing in Houston, San Diego
Amazon's Zoox said it is starting supervised testing, with human safety operators on board, in Houston and San Diego beginning in September 2026, mapping streets ahead of eventual autonomous rides. The additions bring Zoox's US test-fleet footprint to 12 metro areas, though the company has not given a timeline for passenger service in either city; it still offers paid rides only in Las Vegas and free rides in San Francisco while the robotaxi race with Waymo intensifies.
