Federal safety regulators have given Zoox a temporary exemption that will allow the Amazon-owned autonomous vehicle technology company to charge customers for rides in its custom-built robotaxi. Zoox custom-built vehicles lack many of the traditional controls required under federal law. For instance, the company’s autonomous vehicles do not have steering wheels or pedals. The agency is providing an exemption for eight federal motor vehicle standards, including windshield defrosting and light vehicle braking systems. A Zoox spokesperson told TechCrunch that the company will soon begin charging for its service, first in Las Vegas.
