Zoox, Amazon’s robotaxi company, will begin charging for rides in Las Vegas on August 10, the company confirmed. The move marks the official start of Zoox’s commercial operations for the robotaxi service in the city. Zoox said fares are based on a pricing formula that includes a base price plus the distance and time of a trip. The company also plans to add destination fees for rides that are to or from Harry Reid International Airport. Zoox described its pricing as competitive with “comfort” tier ride-hailing services, positioning the robotaxi fares above standard tiers. Multiple outlets report the same details, including the start date and the structure of the fare calculation. The information comes from Zoox’s confirmation to media ahead of the launch, indicating that customers will be able to pay for trips once the charging period begins on the specified date.
