Amazon.com Inc.’s autonomous driving unit Zoox has started offering rides to the public in Las Vegas, marking a first in the US for a purpose-built robotaxi with no driver controls.

Starting Wednesday, Zoox will offer trips in and around the Las Vegas, Nevada strip, initially for free. Rides can be summoned from a smartphone application, with staff on hand at specific locations around the city to help with pick-ups and drop-offs.
