Amazon declined to share the financial terms.announcing the deal, Amazon shared few details for how it plans to use Zoox's technology. Zoox's current leadership team, including CEO Aicha Evans and CTO Jesse Levinson, will continue to run the company as a standalone business, Amazon said.

Amazon's delivery network is likely the biggest beneficiary of this deal, according to Loup Ventures managing partner Andrew Murphy.
