A new autonomous vehicle company is zooming into Atlanta.

Amazon-owned Zoox announced Tuesday that it is adding Atlanta to its roster of “testing roadmap” cities. The testing phase with humans driving the retrofitted Toyota SUVs is a precursor to the launch of driverless robotaxi services, according to a press release.

That launch will take place this summer, according to TechCrunch.
