Autonomous vehicles are essentially endpoints in a complex distributed network. Because latency isn’t an option at 60 miles an hour, each vehicle is essentially a rolling data center, using its on-board infrastructure to navigate while capturing vast amounts of real-world information about everything from traffic patterns to weather conditions and pedestrian behavior. That data is streamed to AWS, where large-scale simulations predict how all Zoox vehicles should respond to dynamic situations such as someone stepping into a crosswalk or a reckless driver weaving in traffic.Amazon Web Services plays a central role in powering Zoox’s futuristic robotaxis. The Amazon subsidiary relies on the cloud provider’s infrastructure to train, test and refine the machine learning models that handle navigation and safety. But Zoox is just another customer to the cloud giant, albeit a preferred one. WHat is your take on investing in robotaxis ?
