Tesla Chief executive officer Elon Musk has publically called Amazon Founder and CEO Jeff Bezos copycat after the e-commerce giant declared to buy self-driving car company Zoox pegged at more than $1 billion.
Tesla is known for its innovative cars and it has made a huge progress in the automotive industry, thanks to its CEO Elon Musk who founded and operates a lot of companies including Tesla and SpaceX. Tesla is making great progression in self-driving cars and we all know that.
So, Amazon has acquired the California headquartered Zoox to counter Tesla. The company is implementing the most recent in automotive, robotics and renewable energy to design a symmetrical, bi-directional, zero-emission vehicle from the ground up to solve the specific challenges of autonomous liberty.
Zoox even settled a lawsuit with Tesla in April after admitting that some new employees it hired out of Tesla owned documents when they combined Zoox. Tesla had filed a lawsuit in March of last year against Zoox and four former employees. Previously this month, Elon Musk has slammed Blue Origin and Amazon Founder Bezos, stating it’s time to break up the e-commerce giant and end its monopoly.
Even though the SpaceX founder has tweeted a lot about Bezos but the world’s richest man has never answered back as such. Obviously this is a strategical move by Amazon, who largely requires vehicles for delivery and transport, now owning a company like Zoox will help them make their delivery autonomous as we know Amazon is trying hard to use AI and IoT to makes things easier and profitable to the company at the end of the day.
