SEOUL — Hyundai Motor will sell its cars on Amazon from next year, a first for any automaker.
The two companies jointly announced the move at the Los Angeles Auto Show on Thursday, along with a plan to install Amazon’s Alexa artificial intelligence speaker in Hyundai vehicles from 2025. Hyundai also named the U.S. e-commerce giant’s AWS cloud service as its preferred provider to help facilitate its digital transformation.
