Amazon.com is in talks to buy self-driving startup Zoox, in a move that would expand the e-commerce giant’s reach in autonomous-vehicle technology, the Wall Street Journal reported.
The deal will value Zoox at less than the $3.2 billion it achieved in a funding round in 2018.
Amazon has stepped up its investment in the car sector, participating in a $530 million funding round early last year in self-driving car startup Aurora Innovation.
