    Zoox, Amazon’s robotaxi subsidiary, has opened a new manufacturing facility in California to build thousands of toaster-shaped self-driving vehicles, the company said on Wednesday.

    텍사스 오스틴 남동부의 한 조용한 주택가. 이곳에 26년째 거주 중인 68세 은퇴자 크리스티안 피스터(Christian Pfister)는 매일 아침 대형견 ‘월리(Wally)’와 함께 동네 산책을 한다. 오래된 참나무 가로수가 늘어선 이 주택가는 단독주택과 듀플렉스, 소형 아파트가 뒤섞인 전형적인 주거지역이다. 약 3주 전 아침, 그는 흰색 테슬라 모델Y 한 대가 텍사스 제조사 번호판을 달고 조용히 지나가는 걸 봤다. 그 뒤엔 어두운 색상의 또 다른 테슬라가 바짝 따라붙고 있었다. 두 차량은 그의 앞에서 좌회전을 하더니, 한 블록을 돌아 다시 피스터 앞을 지나갔다. 그리고 다시, 또다시 온종일 같은 블록을 반복해서 돌았다. 피스터는 “하루 종일 같은 구간을 돌기만 하더라”고 말했다. 그 이후로 피스터가 사는 동네에선 흰색, 검정색, 회색 테슬라 차량이 반복적으로 등장하고 있다. 같은 길, 같은 회전 동선을 따라 하루에도 수차례 돌아다닌다는 것이다.

    Christian Pfister, a 68-year-old retiree, walks his Great Pyrenees, Wally, each morning on the street in his quiet neighborhood—a compilation of old oak tree-lined streets for single-family homes, duplexes, and apartments in southeast Austin where he’s been living the last 26 years. It was about three weeks ago, on one of these morning strolls, that he spotted a white Tesla Y with a Texas manufacturer plate drive by, with a dark-colored Tesla closely trailing behind it.
