Amazon's Zoox says its new Hayward factory is the first-ever purpose-built robotaxi serial production facility in the U.S., and once at full scale, it will have the capacity to assemble more than 10,000 robotaxis a year.

Zoox is testing in various U.S. cities with more than 20 vehicles and plans to launch the commercial services in Las Vegas this year, followed by San Francisco, where it seeks to expand areas of operation.
