• Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) is in advanced talks to acquire Zoox Inc. in a move that would expand the company's reach in autonomous vehicle technology, WSJreports.
• The companies are discussing a deal that would value Zoox at less than the $3.2B it achieved in a funding round in 2018, according to the report.
• Zoox has been working to develop the hardware and software needed to create electric powered robot taxis that would be summoned by a smartphone app starting this year.

This is the perfect time to enter the self driving market, car sales are down, driving is down, shyt still needs to be shipped. An electric self driving car would be the wave right now for companies, especially since less people are on the roads.

Self driving cars have killed multiple people at this point and it has not stopped development, more companies are popping up and more money is being invested. Your scenario is not based in the real world
