Zoox Robotaxis Coming to Uber Starting Late 2026

Amazon's self-driving subsidiary Zoox is teaming up with Uber to put its robotaxis on the ride-hailing giant's platform. The rollout begins in Las Vegas in late 2026, with Los Angeles following in 2027.

There's a catch, though. Zoox still needs federal approval in the US before any of this happens. No robotaxi, no ride — regulatory green light required.

The partnership marks another major ride-hailing platform embracing autonomous vehicles. Uber has been steadily building relationships with robotaxi operators after scrapping its own self-driving ambitions years ago.

For Amazon, the deal gives Zoox something it desperately needs: distribution. Building a robotaxi is hard. Getting people to actually use it is harder. Plugging into Uber's massive user base is the shortcut.

Whether regulators play ball on the timeline remains the billion-dollar question.
