Amazon curtails ventures amid push to control costs

Amazon is shuttering more projects, with a digital travel experience and a high-performance robotic system the most recent to get the ax.

That comes after announcements this month that Amazon will stop testing delivery robots, end production of a video device for kids and pause hiring for its corporate retail division. Earlier this year, it also said it would end its health care venture, Amazon Care.
