Show Notes
The Zoox autonomous vehicle design began in 2016 as a sketch on a napkin. Today, that sketch has become a reality.
.
From the bespoke lighting and audio design to the seating configuration, Zoox has engineered a vehicle that creates a calm and inviting rider experience. Chris Stoffel, Director of Studio Engineering at Zoox, shares insights into the design freedoms a custom-made vehicle afforded, why the team focused on the needs and comforts of riders rather than the driver, and the advantages of the 2020 Amazon acquisition.
