Update
What changedYahoo Finance reports that the proposed arrangement could bring Santa Monica at least $500,000 a year in parking payments. The city has not finalised the agreement, so that figure remains a projection tied to a deal still under negotiation.
The report says the arrangement could run as a yearlong pilot. It does not give a start date or say when Zoox vehicles would arrive.
The proposal would allow Zoox to stage vehicles in city-owned parking facilities; it does not authorise the company to carry passengers in Santa Monica. That distinction keeps the latest detail where it belongs: a possible infrastructure deal, not a robotaxi service launch.
