It’s National Pedestrian Safety Month, a good reminder of what it takes to share the road responsibly. How does a vehicle with no driver communicate with the people around it? There’s no eye contact or wave to say “go ahead.” So we had to rethink how sound can do that job instead. Our Safety, Experience Design, Research, and Sound Design teams partnered with the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute to test purpose-built, non-speech audio cues, including for people with low vision or visual impairments.

This year’s theme, Unidos, Somos Más (Together, We Are More), centers the strength that comes from community and the many cultures, languages, and traditions that make up Hispanic and Latin culture. We celebrated Hispanic Heritage Month with a hands-on empanada experience, a visit from Hayward High engineering students, and a coffee tour and tasting featuring coffee sourced from Hispanic and Latin growers and roasters. These moments were all about connection and belonging. Check out the local businesses we partnered with this month: ☕️ Sol y Soul: https://lnkd.in/gpqkJsQx 🍹 Rainin Cocktails: https://lnkd.in/gZ74cxmG #HispanicHeritageMonth #Culture

Rain, limited visibility, and heavy traffic are common in Miami. ☔️ Our robotaxi doesn't have windshield wipers. It doesn't need them! Cameras, lidar, radar, and long-wave infrared help it navigate complex environments and changing weather to safely complete the mission. #ThisIsZoox #CodeToRoad #AutonomousVehicles #Robotaxi

Software systems sit at the operational heart of vehicle development, the bridge between hardware, core AI autonomy, and safety-critical execution. At Zoox, that means empowering key teams who, in turn, empower others. Miguel Sainz, Vice President, Software Systems, leads that work. His career began in game development, where he spent years advancing cutting-edge technology and immersive experiences at NVIDIA. Today, Miguel oversees the software architecture, engineering teams, and technical delivery that keeps our robotaxis running safely and at scale. 💬 ”As a leader now, I do a lot of listening. I use that ability to stay calm and really understand people’s problems. Once you’ve asked them the right questions, you can give them different perspectives and share your own views.” Learn more about Miguel: https://lnkd.in/gDkUsC6x
