Amazon has been making headlines for various reasons recently. The tech giant is rolling out nearly 50 heavy-duty electric trucks in Southern California, showcasing its commitment to sustainability and innovation in transportation. However, regulators are investigating Zoox, a self-driving technology company owned by Amazon, after incidents involving sudden braking leading to rear-end collisions. Additionally, Amazon is facing scrutiny over a vast web of fake shops that allegedly scammed 800,000 people in Europe and the US, highlighting the challenges of combating online fraud.
Amazon.com, Inc. is an American multinational technology company founded by Jeff Bezos in 1994. Headquartered in Seattle, Washington, Amazon initially started as an online bookstore before expanding into various other product categories. Today, Amazon is known for its e-commerce platform, cloud computing services through Amazon Web Services (AWS), digital streaming services like Prime Video, and artificial intelligence initiatives such as Alexa. As one of the Big Four technology companies alongside Google, Apple, and Facebook, Amazon has become a dominant force in the global tech industry, continuously diversifying its offerings and expanding its reach into new markets.
