Zoox received a temporary exemption from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that lets it charge for rides in its steering‑wheel‑free robotaxis. The approval allows the Amazon‑owned company to deploy up to 2,500 vehicles each year for the next two years. The exemption follows earlier reports that Zoox had been granted permission to operate its boxy, autonomous vehicles on public roads. No further details about pricing or service areas were provided.
