The reporting

A neutral summary of the key facts most sources agree on, drawn from reporting across the political spectrum.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration granted Amazon-owned Zoox a temporary exemption from federal vehicle-safety standards, allowing limited commercial deployment of robotaxis built without steering wheels or brake pedals. The clearance lets Zoox deploy up to 2,500 vehicles annually for two years under an enhanced oversight structure that can change as the technology develops. Zoox said it will begin charging riders in Las Vegas, where its autonomous vehicles have already been carrying passengers for free. The approval is the first U.S. commercial exemption for a purpose-built robotaxi without manual controls.
