## Caption

Amazon just got approval for a commercial car that dealers will never sell.

The Zoox robotaxi approval is a bigger deal than it looks, but not for the reasons you think.

The technology is impressive. The business model is the real earthquake.

Zoox is a purpose-built appliance for a Transportation-as-a-Service system. It's designed to be deployed in fleets, managed by a central operator, and never sold to an individual.

Amazon isn't trying to become a better car manufacturer. It's positioning itself to be a logistics provider for human movement, bypassing the dealership model entirely.

The future isn't just about competing with the dealer down the street. It's about understanding how your business fits into a world with players like Amazon, who see the vehicle as just one part of a larger network.

Where do dealerships provide value when ownership becomes optional?
