Amazon Announces New Checkout-Free Grocery Store

Amazon(SEATTLE) — Amazon could revolutionize the way we shop for groceries by making the process faster than ever. On Monday, the online retailer unveiled its Amazon Go store that promises no lines and no checkout.

The new-age grocery store will allow customers to walk in by scanning an app at the entrance, grabbing what they want and simply walking out. The system uses sensors to detect what customers have pulled off the shelves — and even what they’ve put back — and automatically charges the items to customers’ Amazon accounts via the smartphone app.

The prototype store is being tested in Seattle by Amazon employees, but the store could be open to the public by next year.
