It’s not a car! A few months ago, I took my first ride in a @Zoox robotaxi with co-founder and CTO Jesse Levinson. It was clear from the start that their commitment to safety and purpose-built AV tech would make them an incredible partner for @Uber. Coming to Vegas this summer, LA next year!

[Andrew Macdonald @andrewgordonmac]

More AVs coming to more cities in the 🇺🇸

@Uber and @zoox coming to Las Vegas and LA soon

Let’s go!
