Amazon Buys Self-Driving Company Zoox For $1.2B And May Rule The World

Amazon’s huge cash resources make it one of the few companies with the capital to carry out the big bold vision of Zoox, to completely reinvent the passenger car.

The ability to deliver anything in an Amazon warehouse on short notice will be a very attractive product. The cost of robot delivery will be low enough to be bundled in with Amazon Prime. If you can get anything in one of those giant Amazon warehouses in 30 minutes, that’s scary news for the rest of retail.

While this is vastly less than the more than $3B at which Zoox was valued at is peak, it solves all of Zoox’s problems. If Jeff Bezos wants to carry through the Zoox vision, he has the resources to take that bet. It may be bad news for the early employees and founders of Zoox — in a typical venture deal, the investors who put in the early money get their money back first, and so almost all the money from this deal may to them.

Possible good news for Zoox is the ability to continue their quest for a custom vehicle design — an ambitious and expensive plan. Now the resources are available. Whether that is the right choice or not I have discussed extensively in the articles linked above and my

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.
