Introducing Amazon Go and the world’s most advanced shopping technology

I hope stores adopt this technology. Long Checkout lines and incompetent cashiers are one of my pet peeves
inb4 what about the cashiers?

What is Amazon Go?
Amazon Go is a new kind of store with no checkout required. We created the world’s most advanced shopping technology so you never have to wait in line. With our Just Walk Out Shopping experience, simply use the Amazon Go app to enter the store, take the products you want, and go! No lines, no checkout. (No, seriously.)

How does Amazon Go work?
Our checkout-free shopping experience is made possible by the same types of technologies used in self-driving cars: computer vision, sensor fusion, and deep learning. Our Just Walk Out technology automatically detects when products are taken from or returned to the shelves and keeps track of them in a virtual cart. When you’re done shopping, you can just leave the store. Shortly after, we’ll charge your Amazon account and send you a receipt.
So I can just shop normally?
Yes! Just browse and shop like you would at any other store. Then you’re on your way. No lines, no checkout.

What can I buy at Amazon Go?
We offer delicious ready-to-eat breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack options made fresh every day by our on-site chefs and favorite local kitchens and bakeries. Our selection of grocery essentials ranges from staples like bread and milk to artisan cheeses and locally made chocolates. You’ll find well-known brands we love, plus special finds we’re excited to introduce to customers. For a quick home-cooked dinner, pick up one of our chef-designed Amazon Meal Kits, with all the ingredients you need to make a meal for two in about 30 minutes.
How big is the store?
Our roughly 1,800 square feet of retail space is conveniently compact so busy customers can get in and out fast.

What do I need to get started?
All you need is an Amazon account, a supported smartphone, and the free Amazon Go app.

Why did you build Amazon Go?
Four years ago we asked ourselves: what if we could create a shopping experience with no lines and no checkout? Could we push the boundaries of computer vision and machine learning to create a store where customers could simply take what they want and go? Our answer to those questions is Amazon Go and Just Walk Out Shopping.
Where is Amazon Go located?
Our store is located at 2131 7th Ave, Seattle, WA, on the corner of 7th Avenue and Blanchard Street.

When can I visit Amazon Go?
Amazon Go is currently open to Amazon employees in our Beta program, and will open to the public in early 2017. Click below to get notified when we open.

That's kind of cool. I envision a ton of problems with theft and identity theft, but it sounds cool.

Yes? Only if "normally" really means bypassing checkout lines.

20 years ago, I went to a pitch where they said this was a few years away.
anyway, its long over due. there is zero reasons to have checkers these days. you probably need help bagging groceries.

Sams Club already has this capability and Walmart is beta testing now. Won't work for things like cigarettes, alcohol, bullets, etc but nice nonetheless.

sams club allows has this? or are you talking about the click and pull?
Posted on 12/5/16 at 12:31 pm to tke857
Note: I was going off what was stated above and did t click link.
Sams Club has a Scan & Go app. You walk in the club, pick your merchandise, scan barcode with the app, pay for everything via your phone. Walk out to exit and show door greeter/checker your barcode receipt and you are good to go. No lines. No cashiers.
ETA: ok just watched video. Not exactly same thing but close. No cashiers or lines. Sams makes you pay for product (checkout in the app) before leaving the store. Looks like Amazon is putting a lot of trust in their technology here (can we cancel credit card while in the store so it can't charge card when walkout?; of course get arrested later because big brother).

Guess Trump is going to have to find new jobs for cashiers too.
