Amazon-owned Zoox plans to launch its commercial robotaxi service on August 10.
The first paid rides will happen in Las Vegas.
Zoox got an exemption from motor vehicle standards last week that allows it to operate its funky autonomous pod commercially.
Zoox plans to make history by being the first company to operate a commercial robotaxi service using a vehicle without conventional driver controls. On Wednesday, the company said it will kick off its paid service in Las Vegas on August 10.
Amazon-owned Zoox has been ferrying passengers around in its futuristic, rectangular pods for about a year now. But those rides were offered free of charge. Now, though, the federal government just cleared the way for customers to start paying for Zoox's robo-rides.
