A first Zoox ride felt claustrophobic and took about 30 minutes

A rider called their first Zoox ride “fine” but said the lack of a proper windshield felt claustrophobic. They said free rides leave a San Francisco storefront for roughly 10 preset destinations; their trip took about 30 minutes versus about 20 by normal car. They described the vehicle as very cautious and said it avoided the freeway. In a later reply, they said it backed up about 100 feet to make room for a lane change after getting stuck behind traffic and a temporary road sign.
