Elon Musk calls Jeff Bezos a copy cat after Amazon acquires self-driving-car startup Zoox - Business Insider

Amazon's acquisition is a step forward into the autonomous-driving, an arena that Musk's Tesla has been seeking to dominate.Tesla CEO Elon Musk made a jab at Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos on Twitter Friday just a day afterthe Seattle tech giant's reported $1.2 billion acquisition of self-driving taxi firm Zoox.—Elon Musk The comment comes as Amazon's acquisition puts the company at a more leveled playing field with Tesla in the self-driving arena.

As Business Insider's Mark Matousek reported in late May, Amazon's interest in Zoox was piqued to helpZoox's vehicles are designed for ride-hailing, unlike Tesla's, which are designed to go directly to consumers. Tesla and Zoox have traded jabs before. Musk claimed in 2019 that by mid-2020, his company's self-driving cars would be fully operational without human interaction, meaning drivers wouldn't have to look at the road while driving.

I’m honestly surprised how people on twitter think Bezos is a better person than Musk. (Then again twitter is crazy) Bezos runs a near-monopoly company, never invests his money to good causes, and always does things for his own wealth and fame.

Haha toning it down after the pedo guy incident. Come on elonmusk you can do better than that

He is joking ffs. They are both in cahoots together to completely privatize transportation. Their ultimate goal is to be landlords of fleets of autonomous vehicles. Bezos isn't competition. ICE vehucles that a more expensive to fuel and maintain are.

I believe it's called competition. 'Copy' forward - good for us all.

This is trash journalism

It is what it is

Launched in 2007, the site is now the largest business news site on the web. Makes PERFECT sense. In a few years Amazon will be a mostly automated operation.

Amazon to buy self-driving technology company ZooxAmazon is jumping deeper into the market for autonomous driving with the purchase of Zoox, which was valued at over $3 billion in 2018. $1B is a rounding error to them. I was under the impression that they were much further along in their R&D for autonomous driving tech. Curious to see how much this will advance them in the space. Ya mean Jeffo . . I'm disturbed by this Not so much about self driving cars ( not comfortable) but Amazon buy another company for it's technology It is like the tycoons of the Gilded Age buy up everything
