Amazon (AMZN) and ThunderSoft Partner on In-Vehicle Voice AI Jeff Lewis Sat, June 27, 2026 at 3:32 PM EDT 2 min read AMZN Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) is one of the 15 Best AI Stocks That Will Make You Rich in 10 Years . On June 26, 2026, Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) and ThunderSoft announced a collaboration to bring intelligent voice AI and agentic capabilities to more automotive OEMs. Amazon said the collaboration combines Alexa Custom Assistant, its in-vehicle AI voice solution, with ThunderSoft's cockpit integration and global OEM delivery expertise. The goal is to give automakers a faster path to "differentiated, branded in-vehicle experiences." On June 25, Amazon announced plans to build India's largest "delivery in minutes" network by scaling Amazon Now to customers in over 300 cities across the country. Amazon Now has become the fastest-growing ecommerce business unit in Amazon India's history, with orders doubling every quarter since launch. Amazon said it will expand specialized fulfillment infrastructure to offer tens of thousands of products delivered in minutes or a few hours, over one million products within the same day, over four million the next day, and millions more with unlimited, free, and fast Prime Delivery. Also on June 25, the European Commission informed Amazon and Microsoft (MSFT) of its preliminary view that they should be designated as gatekeepers under the Digital Markets Act for their cloud computing services, Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure. The Commission preliminarily found that AWS and Azure are important gateways between businesses and customers in the EU, despite not meeting the DMA's quantitative thresholds for designation. The Commission cited their turnover, operational capacity, investments, user bases, lock-in effects, switching costs, AI tools, partnerships, and durable positions in EU cloud computing. If the preliminary findings are confirmed, Amazon and Microsoft would have six months to ensure full compliance with the DMA's obligations.
