A vehicle with no driver's seat
Zoox, an Amazon subsidiary, is the only US operator carrying the public in a vehicle designed without a steering wheel or pedals, under a NHTSA exemption of up to 2,500 vehicles a year for two years.
Where it runs
Las Vegas is the only city with paid rides, since August 2026. Nevada's 100-vehicle cap expired on September 25, 2026. San Francisco stays free and on a waitlist until California grants a fare permit. TechCrunch estimated the total fleet at about 100 vehicles in September 2026; Zoox publishes no figure.
