Amazon-owned robotaxi developer Zoox has announced the deployment on open public roads of its purpose-built bi-directional autonomous people mover. Able to carry up to four passengers, the fully self-driving vehicle is being put to work shuttling the company’s own employees around Foster City, California.

The electric vehicle has been in development for almost 10 years now, and was designed from the ground up to be an autonomous taxi, so lacks any of the traditional driving controls found in converted cars used by the likes of AutoX and Waymo.
