Amazon filings this week
This week's published patents
Amazon's 5 newest filings split between voice and web automation on one side and Zoox robotaxi operations on the other:
- Voice and web tools. Two filings cover conversational AI: one ranks the topics callers feel most strongly about, and another has a voice assistant navigate and click through websites on a user's behalf.
- Zoox fleet and sensor work. Three Zoox filings address street-level coordination and safety: one spreads robotaxis across routes to avoid crowding a single street, one adds a spinning window to keep sensors clear of rain, and one has vehicles listen for police orders and relay instructions to riders.
