Aicha Evans is a name that you should become very familiar with!
In honor of Women’s History Month, WBLS is proud to acknowledge and celebrate the often-overlooked women who make contributions to our communities, our culture, society, and who are making history, today!
Evans is the CEO of the self-driving car startup company named Zoox, which was bought by Amazon for $1.2 billion. Although the business is considered to be standalone, she and the company’s co-founder and CTO, Jesse Levinson are set to keep their roles in the company.
The company was founded in 2014 in Foster City, California with the mission to provide safe, clean, and enjoyable transportation to the world. After being acquired by Amazon, Evans said in a blog post, “This acquisition solidifies Zoox’s impact on the autonomous driving industry.”
