    Well they’re not invested in all of these robotic companies and automation companies because they want to sell the tech to their competitors.

    It’s clear that the goal is to have warehouses be more automated, and for deliveries to be handled by things like Zoox.

      And honestly, this isn’t just limited to Amazon’s warehouses. All companies that end up with huge warehouse and distribution centers have always been striving to automate as much of the process as possible. Amazon just has the capital to push the tech with in house resources, instead of having to contract it out.
