What this means for earning money here
Paid passenger service is recorded for Zoox. A rider fare can help price a trip, while the owner’s receipts depend on how the fare is settled. The reviewed local records do not establish an open enrollment program for a privately owned car.
For Las Vegas, reserve the hours needed for personal trips, then vary paid utilization and the owner share. Enter the electricity tariff and insurance quote that apply to the vehicle. Unknown fares and uncontracted shares remain scenario assumptions.
