Zoox, which is headquartered in California and has more than 1,000 employees, has spent the last six years working on technology that would allow a "fully autonomous" car to drive both on city roads and highways, with advanced features such as yielding to pedestrians, passing double parked vehicles, and making "unprotected" left and right turns at red traffic lights, according to the company.

Zoox hasn't unveiled its prototype publicly yet, though, and The Information claims the company pushed back plans to launch a robotaxi service this year as its software isn't ready.

Amazon has dabbled in self-driving technology — for example, it invested in startup Aurora in 2019 — but this acquisition is more serious. It's one of the company's biggest investments ever, after Whole Foods and Zappos, which Amazon bought for $13.4 billion and $1.2 billion, respectively. The Information claims that Amazon will likely have to invest billions more to bring Zoox cars onto the streets.
