California-based autonomous-car startup Zoox Inc. has hired Intel Corp. executive Aicha Evans as its CEO, effective Feb. 26.
Evans most recently was Intel’s chief strategy officer. She will succeed Zoox co-founder Tim Kentley-Klay, who was ousted in August after leading a $500 million fundraising round for the company.
Zoox has been developing its own autonomous-driving software, electric vehicle program and urban ride-hailing system. The company’s philosophy is that the most successful self-driving vehicles will be those designed specifically for that function, not retrofitted conventional cars.
Evans helped Intel redirect its corporate focus from chipmaking to data handling. Observers note that Evans faces a similar challenge at Zoox.
Zoox’s other co-founder, Jesse Levinson, remains the company’s president and chief technical officer.
