"Amazon Expands Just Walk Out Technology to Other Retailers Despite Removal from Own Stores"

Amazon is discontinuing its cashier-less Just Walk Out technology at its Amazon Fresh grocery stores in the U.S., but plans to sell the system to over 120 third-party businesses by the end of the year. The company will replace Just Walk Out with smart carts at its U.S. Fresh stores, while continuing to offer the technology at Amazon Go convenience stores and some Amazon Fresh stores in the U.K. The move reflects Amazon's efforts to revamp its grocery offerings and attract more customers. Despite recent viral social media posts, Amazon is emphasizing that the technology is not powered by contractors manually adding up items, but rather uses cameras, AI, and sensor trackers.
