@@backacheache That is what Amazon claimed after being found out using their so called AI; thousands of workers in foreign countries watching cameras. There was no advanced AI back then just algorithms to stock shelves that all grocery stores had using the bar codes on the packaging. Most AI were not that functional back in 2018. Amazon basically fake it in hopes they could make it; but failed.
It’s literally explained at the 3minute mark. Every ML system needs quality data and subset of data is reviewed by humans to correct for errors and reuse for training. The original article claiming 1000s of Indians had 0 proof or substance to it. The system is more like waymo, autonomous most of the time and needs some assistance in complex/unknown scenarios.

I wish my Aldi's was as big as the supermarkets nearby. I bet I would have bigger selection and Aldi Find deals off the hook. So far mostly seasonal chocolates and chips
One issue that this news story fails to address is pushback from local politicians who pass laws requiring that the store accepts cash for payment so as not to "discriminate" against people who don't have credit or debit cards, such as the homeless.
I mean it definitely makes sense. If grocery stores start to bar anyone without a bank account from buying food that could cause a lot of people to be unable to get basic necessities. Even if the readers accept EBT cards, EBT doesn’t cover any bag fees or anything besides food (soap, toothpaste, toilet paper). This isn’t just homeless people either it’s anyone who doesn’t have enough savings to meet the minimum without fees
Good law to use, I just went to a garden flower show, and lots of oldies go there, some drove for hours and were refused entry as they didn't accept cash. Even a busload of them came and they couldn't get in, some strangers offered to use their cards to let them in (and oldies gave them cash) but then all food also was no cash, it's friggin ridiculous as cash is legal tender, businesses can't do this nonsense
They DO accept cash. The one I went to had a couple normal checkout lines with people/registers. I felt like a fricken DINASOUR using actual people, but I was in a hurry, had no idea how it worked, and could not delay my checkout.

Amazon Go stores are still open in America, just not many.

One thing I LOVE about regular self-checkout is the WALMART machines! You walk up to it, and the first thing you see is, "Start scanning." Next step, scan your items, after that click pay. No other scanner in any other store or chain works as simply as that one!
What a lie. The checkout experience isn’t the worst thing. If you pay your employees decently, they will have fun at the job and make the experience better for everyone I would rather have motivated employees instead of a dumb machine

I am 40 and I think I can count on my fingers the number of times I've had to stand in line when grocery shopping over the last 20 years. This problem has essentially been solved since the 90s.
i dont understand why are we replacing the simplest jobs with AI, i see so many self check out lanes in walmart too these days. Dont all need to work ?
I’m confused about why they’re trying to act like this is a new idea, Amazon has been trying this for 10 years and it’s not a seamless process where the cameras catch everything they have lots of people in the background that are having a look through all the camera footage, which is why it was never adopted the way that they said it was going to be at other stores
netflix had infraestructure in AWS before AWS decided to do prime video, I guess netflix didn't expect that, so is not a good example of why any company should trust the biggest competitor to handle data in a secure way or not exploiting competitors data, this tech wont fly with competitors, or... at the least that's my opinion
Build trust, build comfort, build familiarity, and make the underlying tech more affordable. You do those things and this will take off. People don't like waiting in line, and human cashiers are expensive too.
Brilliant idea,,,I got home and found out my credit card was charged 1000 dollars for 2 soft drinks,,,and how are poor kids going to be able to steal candy bars
@@UndergroundRawwI mean if the kids parents are rich their parents can eat the $1000 dollars at least without going to jail. Though I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s so much so they can make it a felony if people shoplift
I've heard people saying that our local Amazon wasn't recognizing all the groceries they were walking out with. Basically, it was giving away too much free stuff.
Trying to solve this as a vision problem seems misguided. Isn’t it easier and cheaper to field a scanning machine into which customers can dump their haul and it picks individual items and scans them? It’ll add a few seconds compared to “just walk out” but who really cares?
The Dash Carts shown at 4:19 are already very close to what you're describing. With Scan & Go at grocery stores, you just take a wireless barcode scanner with you and use a regular shopping cart. Considered by itself, using computer vision for this task is obviously an excessively expensive and overly complicated approach. But it builds toward a not-so-distant future where police, businesses, and homeowners will want AI to be able perform sophisticated surveillance at all times without needing bathroom breaks or sleep, and I bet that Amazon wants to be the frontrunner in that gigantic new market.
This is how checkout works at Decathlon shops in Paris. You drop everything into a wooden box and the system reads all the tags and prices the items into the register.
Even though there are currently people working at the stores to explain how this works, and on the other end of the cameras for analysis, make no mistake, the goal here is to eliminate jobs for the working class. The rich will continue to get richer while the rest of us will have less jobs to compete for.
I buy my lunches in one of thier stores in London, England. It solves the issue of the lunchtime surge of customers that otherwise you've have to hire staff for (a relative small amount of time), all the other shops around have queues for cashiers
People dont understand that the prices of things are never going back down. This inflation is deeper than we think. Those buying groceries are well aware that the real inflation is much over 10%. The increments dont match our income, yet certain investors still earn over $365,000 in stocks and assets. Wish I could accomplish that.
Yes! I'm celebrating £32K stock portfolio today... Started this journey with £3K.... I've invested no time and also with the right terms, now I have time for my family and life ahead of me.

They need to get into Germany. With the bottle deposit system and everything. That's the next level. Automatically getting the right discount for the brought back bottles
Ughh, that's a lot of technology to accomplish something humans can do easily. My ongoing theory is that the shittiest jobs will never be automated profitably.
I like the Scan and go app for Walmart. Just Scan products with your phone. Then just pay with an app. They could use the money they save to buy better scanners that check you on the way out knowing exactly what was not paid for.
I’m just wondering what happens when systems are down ? I know all the time debit systems still go down and you need cash, so how does that work when you need food and it’s all automated?
Funny idea to call novel - we've had walk out stores for a long long time. Road side stands have operated like this long before modern technology. Hospitals have often had solarium's with honor system payments. The only difference with Amazon is building the big brother behind it rather than having citizens we trust. I'd rather live in the later world. ❤
I'm pretty sure they're already rolling this back bc it proved more expensive to have people manually checking each transaction remotely than to just pay 1-2 high school kids minimum wage to half-glance at a self check out machine every hour or so.
I go to a Kraken game at least once a year with the family and these things are great. Those first period intermission beer lines are no joke at any other arena but here you’re in and out in no time and no one is making you open the beers before you walk out. Only annoying thing is that if you want a receipt you have to go to some kiosk every time and type in your email. It’s easier to just check your bank statements a day or so later.
I believe that this Just walk out cashierless checkout solution works only if there is no alcoholic beverages involves because of Government laws around liquor sale.
If you want to pay part of your purchase by debit and the rest on a credit card to you have to make separate trips into the store for each payment method?
All your data has value. Amazon finding an easy way to collect data on everything from what you search to what you buy to what songs you play in your home.
I can see this to be helpul in a rural area where there would be no groceries otherwise, other than that it is solving a problem that not many people have.
Seamless checkout is an interesting problem.Seeing this video I feel there are simpler solutions to checkout a small curated list of unregulated items in near or almost seamless checkout in more economical way for beneficial both for the end customer and the vendor. In it's current form (based on the video) I see cost associated with procuring equipment(startup cost), onboarding, refiling, pricing, and billing challenges for vendor. And billing, security and COG ($18 beer) for customer. It will be interesting to see the numbers behind this. At Amazon scale it is possible to pivot and find a MVP after a product is built.

Ughh, that's a lot of technology to accomplish something humans can do easily. My ongoing theory is that the shittiest jobs will never be automated profitably.
I like the Scan and go app for Walmart. Just Scan products with your phone. Then just pay with an app. They could use the money they save to buy better scanners that check you on the way out knowing exactly what was not paid for.
I’m just wondering what happens when systems are down ? I know all the time debit systems still go down and you need cash, so how does that work when you need food and it’s all automated?
Funny idea to call novel - we've had walk out stores for a long long time. Road side stands have operated like this long before modern technology. Hospitals have often had solarium's with honor system payments. The only difference with Amazon is building the big brother behind it rather than having citizens we trust. I'd rather live in the later world. ❤
I feel more comfortable being in the store like this
Antisocial sheep! You need a safe space as well!
I'm pretty sure they're already rolling this back bc it proved more expensive to have people manually checking each transaction remotely than to just pay 1-2 high school kids minimum wage to half-glance at a self check out machine every hour or so.
What 's in it for the consumers? Cheaper. Nowadays most of us are more price-oriented consumers.

I go to a Kraken game at least once a year with the family and these things are great. Those first period intermission beer lines are no joke at any other arena but here you’re in and out in no time and no one is making you open the beers before you walk out. Only annoying thing is that if you want a receipt you have to go to some kiosk every time and type in your email. It’s easier to just check your bank statements a day or so later.
Unfortunately this ain't it
this wouldn't work in Chicago
Ahh yes! The dint du nuttinz community will have a free for all in this store. 😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃
I think this is an outgrowth of the nanotechnology of Jan Hedrik Schoen
To shoplift all you would have to do is tap your card and put a temporary block on the card before leaving.
🔥Walkout stores would work fantastically in Chicago 🤪 #EvilAmazon
Who would pay for all these upgrades? Would it be cheaper than hiring people? I want affordable groceries, not this BS.
I believe that this Just walk out cashierless checkout solution works only if there is no alcoholic beverages involves because of Government laws around liquor sale.
I don’t care how this is being done, I wish it were in every store in the country!! No more standing in long grocery store lines!! 😂
Vote Trump 2024 and save this Country!!!
If you want to pay part of your purchase by debit and the rest on a credit card to you have to make separate trips into the store for each payment method?
All your data has value. Amazon finding an easy way to collect data on everything from what you search to what you buy to what songs you play in your home.
I can see this to be helpul in a rural area where there would be no groceries otherwise, other than that it is solving a problem that not many people have.
Seamless checkout is an interesting problem.Seeing this video I feel there are simpler solutions to checkout a small curated list of unregulated items in near or almost seamless checkout in more economical way for beneficial both for the end customer and the vendor. In it's current form (based on the video) I see cost associated with procuring equipment(startup cost), onboarding, refiling, pricing, and billing challenges for vendor. And billing, security and COG ($18 beer) for customer. It will be interesting to see the numbers behind this. At Amazon scale it is possible to pivot and find a MVP after a product is built.
