With <a href="https://www.wsj.com/business/autos/tesla-robotaxi-explained-e3db95b8?mod=WSJ_BNPOD">Elon Musk’s Tesla piloting its robotaxi service in Austin, Texas</a> and <a href="https://www.wsj.com/business/autos/waymo-wants-to-bring-its-robotaxis-to-new-york-city-b5a6ad3a?mod=WSJ_BNPOD">Waymo expanding</a>, it’s the perfect time to revisit our interview with Zoox CEO Aicha Evans. She went deep with WSJ’s Tim Higgins and Christopher Mims on her decisions to <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/amazon-in-advanced-talks-to-buy-self-driving-car-tech-company-zoox-11590538611?mod=WSJ_BNPOD">sell the company to Amazon for over $1.2 billion</a> and to keep Zoox’s radical design for a driverless car that looks like a lounge on wheels. As she and her rivals work to win customers’ trust, Evans’s insights into robotaxi safety are even more timely.

Plus, in a brand-new segment Higgins and Mims dig into why this moment is so crucial for the robotaxi business to reach surprising new customers–like parents.
