en.Wedoany.com Reported - Zoox, the autonomous driving company under Amazon, has upgraded its Robotaxi model in preparation for commercial operations later this year. The new vehicle features exterior adjustments and improved interior comfort and practical functions based on passenger feedback.

Zoox retains the vehicle's core design, continuing with a boxy shape, no steering wheel or traditional driving controls, and a panoramic glass roof with a starry sky effect. On the intelligence front, the vehicle is equipped with 40 perception devices, including cameras, radar, lidar, and infrared sensors, to identify the surrounding environment. The bidirectional driving, four-wheel steering, and four-seat "face-to-face" layout are retained, with a top speed of approximately 121 km/h.

This upgrade primarily targets high-frequency operational needs. Zoox plans for the Robotaxi to transport thousands of passengers daily in the future, so adjustments have been made to multiple details affecting daily use. The vehicle's seats and headrests have added padding, with contours more ergonomically designed. The interior has been switched to brighter color schemes, featuring aloe green seats and limestone-colored floors and trim panels. Zoox states that the lighter interior creates a calmer riding atmosphere while providing clearer visual contrast, making it easier for passengers to find items left behind in the vehicle. The wireless charging pad surface now has grooves to prevent phones from sliding during travel. Cup holders have been enlarged, and the touchscreen has been repositioned to a more prominent location.

Exterior changes include rearranging bidirectional reflective devices to enhance vehicle visibility. The door interaction area has added speakers and microphones, supporting two-way communication. Zoox says the new features improve communication between passengers, other road users, and the vehicle, and also facilitate contact between the Zoox support team and emergency responders.
