"Amazon Scraps Cashierless Checkout System in Grocery Stores"
TL;DR Summary
Amazon is abandoning its Just Walk Out program in larger grocery stores in favor of Dash Carts, where customers scan products as they shop. The company is revamping its stores and plans to expand Amazon Fresh locations. Despite previous retail setbacks, Amazon is now focusing on a simpler self-checkout approach, using scanners and a touchscreen on special shopping carts, followed by palm scanning for checkout. This shift comes after the company scaled back its original computer vision-based system in favor of RFID scanners.
