Amazon Announces Physical ‘Amazon Go’ Stores With No Lines, Checkout, or Cashiers
Amazon has announced Amazon Go, physical brick and mortar stores that make use of what the company calls "Just Walk Out" technology to allow users to simply walk into a store, select their items for purchase, and walk out of the store with them without having to wait in line to checkout.
The system makes use of a new app that customers scan on the way into a store. As customers shop and pick up items they are added to their virtual cart, and when customers leave the store the items are charged to their Amazon account.
