Amazon has just taken its boldest step yet into self-driving vehicles, acquiring six-year-old start-up Zoox, the company announced Friday.
  • Zoox was valued at over $3 billion in 2018, but has struggled with management turnover in its efforts to develop a self-driving car.
  • The company hired Qatalyst Partners to help it find a buyer.
  • The acquisition is notable for Amazon, which paid $13.7 billion for Whole Foods in 2017.
