LG Innotek to Supply Camera Modules for Zoox Robotaxis

LG Innotek to Supply Camera Modules for Zoox Robotaxis

On August 27, South Korean electronic components manufacturer LG Innotek announced that it will supply automotive camera modules to Zoox, Amazon’s autonomous driving subsidiary, for serial production of its purpose-built robotaxi fleet. The companies have collaborated since the early development stages of the robotaxi program. Over the next several years, Zoox vehicles will incorporate LG Innotek’s camera modules, with the components already being assembled onto the robotaxis. The agreement places LG Innotek’s camera technology within a production program focused specifically on autonomous ride-hailing vehicles rather than conventional passenger vehicles.

Camera Modules Provide Omnidirectional Sensing

The camera modules are part of a broader sensor suite designed to provide overlapping fields of view and 360-degree coverage around the robotaxi. Depending on where they are mounted on the vehicle, the modules use five different fields of view to support precise omnidirectional sensing. This configuration enables the autonomous driving system to receive visual information across different areas surrounding the vehicle. The camera arrangement therefore forms an important component of the sensing architecture used by Zoox as it develops and produces purpose-built vehicles for autonomous ride-hailing operations.

Weather-Resistant Design Supports Reliable Operation

LG Innotek’s camera modules are designed for prolonged exposure to severe weather conditions, with waterproof construction intended to maintain reliable sensing and consistent performance under extreme environmental conditions. This durability requirement is particularly important for robotaxis operating in public environments, where autonomous systems must continue collecting sensor information across changing weather conditions. The modules are therefore designed not only around field-of-view requirements, but also around the operational demands of a vehicle expected to function repeatedly in real-world conditions. Their integration into Zoox’s robotaxis reflects the need for dependable sensing hardware throughout serial production and service deployment.

Zoox Expands Robotaxi Production and Ride-Hailing Operations

In 2025, Zoox opened a dedicated robotaxi serial production facility in Hayward, California, establishing a manufacturing base for its purpose-built autonomous fleet. The company also launched its robotaxi ride-hailing service in Las Vegas, Nevada, marking an expansion from vehicle development toward commercial autonomous transportation operations. The production relationship with South Korea-based LG Innotek consequently connects automotive sensing-component manufacturing with Zoox’s broader move toward serially produced robotaxis and commercial ride-hailing services. The camera modules are already being assembled onto the vehicles and are expected to remain part of Zoox vehicles over the next several years.

Frequently Asked Questions

What will LG Innotek supply to Zoox?
LG Innotek will supply automotive camera modules for Zoox’s serial-production purpose-built robotaxi fleet, supporting the vehicle’s autonomous sensing architecture. The modules form part of a sensor suite providing overlapping fields of view and 360-degree coverage around the vehicle. Five different fields of view are available depending on mounting position, enabling precise omnidirectional sensing. The waterproof camera modules are also designed for prolonged exposure to severe weather and extreme environmental conditions, supporting reliable sensing and consistent performance as Zoox expands production and commercial robotaxi operations.
