Ask HN: What's the State of Autonomous Checkout?
Amazon has struggled to sell their JWO tech, and the autonomous checkout startups also have less stores than I thought they would by this point.
Recently tested a few Grabango stores, and they were less than 80% accurate and took about two hours to send me a receipt. Pathetic.
Is the autonomous checkout industry struggling or growing? Anyone know?

- pixelatedreams 4y agoYeah, I saw that. Amazon has really struggled with their tech. Last stores I visited still used a ton of shelf sensors, took about an hour to send receipts, etc. Hardly any other retailers appear to be buying it from them either.
