Sounds a bit like the Slate truck to me.
Imagine Slate without Bezos
Would be so exciting
I have. Then I realize Slate doesn't get a chance to change vehicular design without him.
Intriguing, care to say more?
With out Bezo's name recognition very, very few would have heard about Slate and their little pickup/SUV. That's a level of advertisement that money simply can't buy as a startup. We certainly wouldn't be talking about them without Bezos' name being attached to them. And they certainly wouldn't have access to the investors and financial doors his name can easily open.
