Zoox has been named the official autonomous ride-hail partner of the Las Vegas Grand Prix. The company will offer rides to and from the race beginning in 2027, after launching paid robotaxi rides in Las Vegas in August.
Why it matters
The partnership extends Zoox's paid service from hotels and entertainment venues to one of the city's largest annual events. It gives race attendees a dedicated autonomous transportation option in Las Vegas.
Each Zoox robotaxi is a four-seat carriage-style pod with no steering wheel or pedals and can reach speeds of up to 75 mph forward or backward. The vehicles' fleet size and Grand Prix fares were not disclosed.
