Zoox Halts Atlanta Robotaxi Tests After Gas Exposure

Zoox grounded its Atlanta test fleet after safety drivers reported toxic gas exposure symptoms in August. As many as 40 workers may have been exposed to carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, or hydrogen sulfide, per OSHA. One worker filed a complaint; OSHA opened and closed an inquiry. Zoox quarantined vehicles, replaced batteries, and plans CO2 monitors.
