The boring parts of driverless cars are on Aicha Evans’s mind.As we rode through the streets of San Francisco in her company’s autonomous vehicle, we talked through all of the back-end things required to launch a robotaxi service later this year. “Right now, tiny, small, medium, large,” the chief executive told me about her strategy for scaling Zoox, Amazon.com’s gamble on the technology. “We’re still putting the foundation in place and making sure that everything that we’ve said we were going to do, we’re doing.” Her approach is rooted in sweating the small stuff.
