Driverless taxis set to hit the roads this year in these US cities

Robo taxis are being introduced in cities like Las Vegas and San Francisco. These autonomous vehicles, designed by Zooks, lack traditional controls like steering wheels and pedals, offering a unique customer experience. Currently, only company employees and special guests can use them, but plans are underway to launch a public ride-hailing service.
