United States: Amazon is strengthening its e-commerce dominance while steadily expanding into various aspects of everyday life, from robotics to healthcare and entertainment.

Recent innovations unveiled by the Seattle-based tech giant included a delivery van computer system designed to optimize the efficiency of its logistics network.

Doug Herrington, head of Amazon Stores, highlighted that the new system allows delivery vans to recognize stops and identify which packages to unload, ultimately saving time.

“When we speed up deliveries, customers shop more,” Herrington said. He also stated that Amazon aims to provide the fastest Prime delivery speeds globally in 2024.

Additionally, Amazon reduced its per-unit shipping costs by 45 cents last year, a significant saving given its enormous sales volume.
