$AMZN Toaster-shaped taxis that don't have a driver or a steering wheel have started rolling across San Francisco and charging for rides in Las Vegas .
The all-electric cars are the first robotaxis offering rides on the roads without standard driver features like a dashboard and pedals. They can drive in either direction and hold up to four passengers who sit facing each other. Windows stretch across much of the sides. The vehicles are called Zoox and they come from a new entrant in robotaxis: Amazon.com.
Amazon is betting it can become a major player in the growing robotaxi market, which Goldman Sachs expects to grow to nearly
$19 billion in sales by 2030, from
$376 million last year.
