Menlo Park, Calif-based autonomous vehicle startup Zoox Inc. has hired Corrado Lanzone, the former operations director of Ferrari SpA's racing division, as vice president of manufacturing operations.
Lanzone joins Zoox after a two-decade career at Scuderia Ferrari, where he oversaw manufacturing, purchasing and quality assurance. The Formula One team won eight championships during his tenure.
Last month Zoox hired Mark Rosekind, who led the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration from 2014 to 2016, as its chief safety innovation officer.
The 20-month-old company, which says it is developing a fleet of fully automated vehicles and the “supporting ecosystem” required to bring its system to market, received permission to test autonomous vehicles on California roads last year.
