Zoox CEO Aicha Evans to Discuss Autonomous Future at Disrupt SF
Zoox CEO Aicha Evans prepares to take the stage at TechCrunch Disrupt SF to share her vision for the company's autonomous ride-hailing service.
Zoox CEO Aicha Evans joins the lineup at TechCrunch Disrupt San Francisco to discuss the future of self-driving technology. Evans steps into this role after a 12-year tenure at Intel, where she guides the tech giant's shift from a PC-centric to a data-centric business model. She brings this extensive operational and strategic experience to Zoox as the startup navigates its next phase of growth.
The company holds a permit for California’s Autonomous Vehicle Passenger Service pilot, allowing it to transport passengers with a safety driver present. Zoox aims to launch a fully autonomous, all-electric ride-hailing service publicly by 2020. This ambitious goal positions Zoox as a unique player in the autonomous vehicle space by developing its own custom vehicles rather than retrofitting existing cars.
Attendees at Disrupt SF have the opportunity to hear directly from Evans about Zoox's strategic roadmap and the challenges of scaling a self-driving fleet. She shares the stage with other prominent figures like Snap CEO Evan Spiegel and Salesforce co-CEO Marc Benioff. The conversation promises valuable insights into how Zoox plans to compete in the rapidly evolving transportation landscape.
