Amazon's Driverless Cab Company Zoox Revs Up ‘Toaster Taxis'
Amazon hopes ride-hailers love direct eye contact because its carriage-style robotaxis feature four seats facing each other. After cutting the ribbon on a new factory in California, Amazon is ramping up production of its bidirectional, self-driving cabs ahead of a planned launch in Las Vegas later this year. The Bay Area facility currently churns out one robotaxi a day, but Zoox hopes to boost that rate to three an hour by next year. After buying Zoox five years ago for $1.3 billion, Amazon is prepping a big push onto the roads of major cities (first, Las Vegas and later, San Francisco, Austin and Miami). But rivals are already there. READ ALSO: Cybersecurity Giant Palo Alto Networks Caught Between Opportunity and Maturity and 'Uncertain' 2025, M&A Deadlock Freeze $1 Trillion in PE Assets Alphabet's Waymo said it provides 250,000 rides a week in its self-driving cabs, up from 10,000 two years ago. Riders can hail a driverless Jaguar from Waymo's app in Austin, Los Angeles, Phoenix and San Francisco. Waymo also recently applied for a permit to operate in New York City, where state law will require a driver, though the company is pushing to change that provision. So far, Waymo is the only fully operational self-driving taxi service in the US, but Tesla is trying to join it ASAP: CEO Elon Musk promised in 2021 that Tesla would have a million robotaxis on the road by now, which … didn't happen. Tesla did, however, put a small group of robotaxis on the road in Austin, Texas, last weekend, which Musk described in a virtual victory lap as 'the culmination of a decade of hard work.' Regulators are investigating Tesla's self-driving tech in connection with fatal accidents as critics raise red flags about its robotaxi's lack of lidar and radar, which Waymo and Zoox use. Waymo and Zoox have been investigated after incidents including erratic driving. Yellow Light. Zoox is trying to join a race that Waymo's already a few laps into, but Waymo may have made the road a little smoother. Waymo eased riders into the concept of driverless taxis with its fleet of Jaguars, which look like regular cars with some extra gadgets whirring around. Zoox's autonomous taxis don't even have a steering wheel, so Zoox has planned a marketing push to persuade riders to hop into its toaster taxis. What'll probably be more important for swaying would-be riders is how safe upcoming robotaxi rollouts are. This post first appeared on The Daily Upside.

Tesla officially launches robotaxis in Austin to a small group of users, charging a $4.20 flat fee per ride
On a balmy Sunday in Austin, Tesla fans awaited the promise of the future. After a few hours of delays, that promise finally came true, and a select group took their first rides, livestreaming their experience. While Tesla robotaxis are meant to be fully autonomous, Tesla employees were still present in the passenger seat of the cars for safety reasons. Earlier this month, Tesla CEO Elon Musk teased the launch of the robotaxi, a driverless Tesla Model Y emblazoned with its namesake in Cybertruck-style font. "Beautifully simple design," Musk wrote on X. "These are unmodified Tesla cars coming straight from the factory, meaning that every Tesla coming out of our factories is capable of unsupervised self-driving," he added. On Sunday, Musk said the first Tesla robotaxi rides would be available for a flat fee of $4.20. A small group of invited users was the first to try them out. Tesla fans buzzed on social media in the lead-up to the official launch, which was initially delayed as users awaited the release of the official Tesla robotaxi app. "We are approaching the window where we expected to have the app and showing everything," Chuck Cook, one of the early invitees to try the Tesla robotaxi, said on X. "There looks like there will be a small delay in the distribution of the app for couple hours." Tesla AI, the division behind the robotaxis, said Sunday on X that Tesla robotaxis will eventually be deployed anywhere they are approved and are designed for "scalability." "It does not require expensive, specialized equipment or extensive mapping of service areas. It just works," the company said. The company launched a website where users can sign up for early access when the service becomes available in their area. It also launched an X feed dedicated to Tesla robotaxis. With the launch of Tesla robotaxis, Austin continued to solidify itself as a new theater for Silicon Valley's race to shape the new age of driverless transportation. In March, Google-backed Waymo launched its autonomous ride-hailing service in partnership with Uber. Waabi, a Canadian startup backed by Uber and Nvidia, is set to launch fully autonomous trucks in Texas this year. Zoox, backed by Amazon, opened its first robotaxi serial production facility in Austin last week. This is a developing story. Check back for updates.

5 Business Technology News Stories This Week: Amazon Replacing Workers With AI
LAS VEGAS, NEVADA - DECEMBER 3: Amazon CEO Andy Jassy speaks during a keynote address at AWS ... More re:Invent 2024, a conference hosted by Amazon Web Services, at The Venetian Las Vegas on December 3, 2024 in Las Vegas, Nevada. (Photo byfor Amazon Web Services) Here are five things in technology that happened this week and how they affect your business. Did you miss them? This Week in Business Technology News Business Technology News #1 – AI means Amazon will need fewer white-collar workers over time, CEO says. Amazon CEO Andy Jassy recently sent a company-wide email outlining how generative AI is reshaping Amazon's future and its workforce. He emphasized that while AI will boost efficiency and reinvent customer experiences, it will also lead to fewer white-collar jobs over time. Jassy noted that Amazon is already using AI across nearly every part of its operations – from Alexa+ and shopping tools to fulfillment logistics and advertising. The company has over 1,000 generative AI tools in development, and Jassy believes this is just the beginning. He encouraged employees to embrace the shift by learning about AI, attending workshops, and experimenting with the technology. Those who adapt will be 'well-positioned to have high impact and help us reinvent the company,' Jassy said. (Source: Quartz) Why this is important for your business: Everybody needs to take a breath. Knowing how unreliable, inaccurate, and error-prone today's AI tools are I don't see this technology replacing people right away. But…it's going to happen, and likely more so in the next 2-5 years. If you're an employee of a big company take to heart Jassy's advice: become expert with these tools so that you can become valuable, productive and profitable to your employer. If you're a small business owner the same applies. Business Technology News #2 – farm-ng updates Amiga robot software for small, midsize farms. Robotics platform Farm-ng has rolled out a major software update for its Amiga modular robot – designed to better serve small and midsize farms. A streamlined, grower-friendly interface simplifies robot control even for users with minimal technology experience. A new Job Manager lets farmers plan, save, and repeat tasks like seeding, weeding, and spraying with precision. The update also includes improved hands-free navigation and automated implement control within defined farming zones. All updates are delivered over-the-air (OTA) so existing users can upgrade without new hardware or complex installs. (Source: The Robot Report) Why this is important for your business: Often overlooked by the mainstream news, ag-tech has been booming over the past few years. Companies like Farm-ng have been rolling out robotics, internet-of-things-enabled equipment and sensors as well as advanced predictive analytics leveraging AI to better forecast production. This is an industry where ever penny counts and technology is making a difference. Business Technology News #3 – Vercepta launches to give small business owners real-time control over online reputation. Reputation management platform Vercepta has officially launched, giving small business owners real-time control over their online reputation. Developed by Stellar Analytics, Vercepta offers features typically reserved for large enterprises, including real-time alerts for new reviews across major platforms. Data-driven insights track sentiment trends and identify potential risks. These tools help businesses not just react to feedback but also proactively manage their public image. Founder Justin Jennings emphasized that most reputation tools are built for agencies, not the business owners themselves. (Source: KXAN Austin) Why this is important for your business: Reputation management remains one of the top security concerns for small businesses and in some cases even more important that malware, ransomware or data breaches. Hackers stealing data or impersonating businesses can cause far-reaching reputation issues, particularly on social platforms. Business Technology News #4 – Reddit unveils AI-driven ad tools to help brands tap into user discussions. Reddit has launched two new AI-powered advertising tools – Reddit Insights and Conversation Summary Add-ons – to help brands tap into real-time user discussions and trends across the platform. Reddit Insights uses AI to analyze billions of posts and comments, surfacing cultural trends, brand sentiment, and emerging topics to guide campaign planning. Conversation Summary Add-ons allow advertisers to display curated, positive user comments directly beneath promoted posts, adding authenticity and social proof. These tools are part of Reddit's broader push to monetize its vast trove of community-driven content while preserving its unique, human-centered vibe. (Source: Reuters) Why this is important for your business: Reddit continues to grow in popularity among people doing research, having conversations or looking for feedback on their ideas. I'm active on a couple of Reddit groups and have learned much from other users too. Which his why it's no surprise that advertisers – big and small – are looking to leverage this audience. And Reddit is responding – these new tools look promising to those who want to make the Reddit community part of their marketing campaigns. Business Technology News #5 – WhatsApp is officially getting ads. WhatsApp is officially rolling out advertisements in its Status feature, making a major shift for the previously ad-free messaging app. These ads will appear in the updates tab – similar to Instagram Stories – and will not affect private chats, which remain end-to-end encrypted. Alongside Status ads, WhatsApp is also introducing paid channel subscriptions allowing creators to offer exclusive content. Promoted channels will give businesses and influencers more visibility. Meta says ad targeting will rely on basic data like location, language, and user interactions – especially for those who link WhatsApp with other Meta services. This is part of the company's broader strategy to monetize WhatsApp's massive user base. (Source: The Verge) Why this is important for your business: Speaking of advertising! Like Reddit (above), WhatsApp has a huge community and – let's admit it – we've been using this free service for years without anything being asked of us. Well, that's changing. Going forward you can expect to see more ads on this platform, which maybe annoying but it can also present marketing opportunities for small businesses looking to reach new audiences. Every week I pick 5 business technology news stories and round them up here, along with my comments.
