Amazon is showing off its self-driving vehicle ambitions with its Zoox project, named after the startup recently acquired by the US giant. It is an electric, self-driving robotaxi prototype, with capacity for four passengers.

Zoox is a relatively compact vehicle, but spacious enough to seat four people. It is bidirectional (it can be driven forward or backward) and its four small guide wheels make it easy to park. Without a driver or even a steering wheel, Zoox can reach a top speed of 75 miles per hour (around 120km/h) in both ways. Its massive 133 kWh battery offers a 16-hour range, which means it can function all day without a break and charge up at night.
