My take about Amazon interested in this is that in a giant list of AWS offerings, there will be a sensor suite processor service called SDS (Self Driving Suite) which will be installed physically inside the car as a server box. Amazon AWS has some experience in building hardware, AWS Snowball for e.g. Ofcourse it will communicate over 5G for non-immediate processing and will run through 3 intermediate AWS services before running the actual processing job on EC2 instance. One of them being SFS or Sensor Fusion Service, which combines geospatial data (from AGS + IPS) with up-to-date road data from other SDS equipped vehicles(1). The billing will be a bit complex so it will require ABS to optimize the billing based on location, mileage and other AI-driven metrics.
(1) Inbound bandwidth will be free.
