Could not scroll on my iPhone 14 so was unable to read.
I went to Amazon Go several times to understand the tech. The one in Seattle had hundreds, possibly thousands of cameras but they apparently were all in the ceiling so I couldn’t figure out how objects could be tracked properly.
Hoping someone from Amazon can confirm or disprove this story.

Not clear to me if they were training a model to do this then or if they actually were following every shopper through video feed and seeing what they would pick out
