Celebrating the Zoox Hayward plant entering its start of production phase. This 220,000 square foot state of the art manufacturing plant in Hayward, California will be capable of assembling 10,000 robotaxis annually with a peak output of 100 units per week.  It’s great to see this innovative vehicle fabricated in America and another step closer to scaling up the service.  After spending the morning going through the details at the factory, I spent an hour and a half booking Zoox rides throughout the most congested and difficult streets in San Francisco. The robotaxi drove with a smoothness and precision that belied the fact we were operating without a driver or even a place for a driver to sit. My excitement with the mechanics of the experience quickly disappeared into the background as we slipped slipped through all the usual complexities of San Francisco driving. Just wonderful!
