# Zoox starts mapping Dallas and Phoenix for its robotaxis

**[TechCrunch](https://daily.dev/sources/tc)** · 3 min read · 1 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Zoox is expanding its autonomous vehicle operations by mapping Dallas and Phoenix as a precursor to robotaxi testing in those cities. The Amazon-owned company is deploying Toyota Highlander SUVs to collect mapping data before transitioning to its purpose-built robotaxis. Once live in both cities, Zoox will operate in 10 US markets. The company has logged over a million autonomous miles and served 300,000+ passengers in Las Vegas and San Francisco. Zoox is still awaiting federal NHTSA exemptions to commercially operate its steering-wheel-free purpose-built AV, and will also need local regulatory approvals. New depots and a command center in Scottsdale are being established to support the expansion.
