Amazon To Open Convenience Store With No Lines
"Amazon says it is opening a new food and convenience store that doesn't have a
checkout line."
"Instead, the company envisions customers at the Amazon Go store picking up whatever they want off the shelves — then simply walking out with it. The items are automatically billed to their Amazon accounts."
"Details about how the technology actually works are sparse. 'We used computer vision, deep learning algorithms and sensor fusion much like you'd find in self-driving cars,' a narrator says in a video from Amazon. 'We call it Just Walk Out Technology.'"
"The 1,800-square-foot retail store in Seattle will offer ready-made meals and some grocery basics, according to the website. The company says it is testing the store with its own employees and plans to open to the public in 2017."
