And we couldn’t be happier this is happening. Sure, there is the new, recently revived Defender to take into consideration if planning to go for a British-made SUV, but for some people, the older ones will always be better – especially if they come as pickup trucks.
As part of our Celebration Month coverage this December, we’ve found a number of decent Defenders now being sold in the U.S. This here is among the freshest of the bunch, in the sense that it made the trip across the ocean only recently, in 2019.
Fitted with the steering wheel on the side most of us consider to be the natural one, the Defender did not make the voyage to the new continent unprepared. While back in the UK it was refurbished, refreshed, and repaired to such a degree that it now looks ready to take on any Gladiator.

Six years ago, Zoox launched quietly with a mighty mission: build and commercialize just about every aspect of a robotaxi service from the self-driving software stack and on-demand ride-sharing app to the management of the fleet and an unconventional vehicle that would transport passengers.
Now, it s finally lifting the veil on its multi-year effort. Zoox, which was acquired earlier this year by Amazon, unveiled the electric, autonomous robotaxi it built from the ground-up a cube-like vehicle loaded with sensors, no steering wheel and a moonroof that is capable of transporting four people at speeds of up to 75 miles per hour. The vehicle can drive bidrectionally and has four-wheel steering, capabilities that Zoox said were included to allow it to maneuver through compact spaces and change directions without the need to reverse.

Amazon’s Zoox unveils vehicle for ride-hailing service

Zoox Inc, the self-driving start-up owned by Amazon.com Inc, unveiled a fully autonomous electric vehicle with no steering wheel that can drive day and night on a single charge.
The vehicle, which Zoox describes as a driverless carriage or robotaxi, can carry as many as four passengers. With a motor at each end, it travels in either direction and maxes out at 120kph.
Two battery packs, one under each row of seats, generate enough juice for 16 hours of run time before recharging, the company said.
Zoox CEO Aicha Evans talks about autonomous vehicles during a keynote session at the Amazon Re:MARS conference on robotics and artificial intelligence at the Aria Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada, on June 6 last year.
