I poked around on their site and read the press releases; Zoox seems to be limited to only pickups and dropoffs at a few set locations.

> Simply open the Zoox app to take a ride from several destinations on and around the Strip.

This puts it dramatically behind Waymo where I can walk out on any block in the coverage area and tell it to take me to any other block in the coverage area, not to mention Uber and Lyft.

I'm sure Zoox can improve this, but right now it resembles a self-driving shuttle more than a taxi service.

The main issue in this case is that LV strictly dictates rideshare pickup/dropoff locations on the strip.

A lot of the more interesting things in Vegas are off the Strip, like Omega Mart or downtown. I was just there this year and after less than a day I saw no reason to be on the Strip.

		Sure, but most tourists are simply on the strip.

A self-driving individual shuttle with preset stops that can integrate into existing roadways is a huge step forward and would be very useful in many urban locations.
