Amazon have definitely proved itself of being one of the world’s best e-commerce company, but could they be expanding into the delivery business also? It is no secret that the company has grown exponentially since Jeff Bezos startup in his garage. It was only a matter of time before the company started to branch out into different markets. Lately Amazon have been seen testing out their new delivery robots in the suburbs of Seattle.The robots have the ability to cruise along the sidewalks navigating around approaching obstacles to deliver packages to customers’ doorsteps.This could limit Amazon’s reliance on outside delivery companies and cut their cost on shipping. Amazon has many engineering challenges to solve before releasing their products worldwide, but could this eventually put other delivery companies such as UPS and FedEx who use people to deliver packages to customers out of business? As of now these delivery robots opposed no threat to these companies, however only time will tell.
