Amazon-owned Zoox has opened its first dedicated production facility in Hayward, CA, where it aims to manufacture up to 10,000 autonomous robotaxis annually. The 220,000-square-foot site will support engineering, assembly, and testing, with initial deployment focused on Las Vegas and San Francisco. Zoox, currently offering employee-only rides, plans to launch a public early-rider program in 2026 and expand to Austin and Miami in the future.
