Zoox is seeking wider clearance from US regulators to operate self-driving cars that lack traditional driving controls, suggesting that the autonomous-vehicle subsidiary of Amazon is preparing for broader commercial deployment.

Zoox requested exemptions from US vehicle safety standards field vehicles that will be operated by an automated driving system without a human operator on board, the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said in a regulatory filing made public on Sept 24.

The exemption Zoox is seeking would allow the company to operate as many as 2,500 self-driving cars on US roads. A previous approval covered only vehicles that were designed for research and demonstrations.

Zoox said it is working closely with NHTSA through the agency’s new exemption process.
