The cutting-edge system lets customers pick up items and simply walk out of the store. Once they depart, the purchases are charged to their account.\nThis could be the start of a whole new era for grocery stores, allowing consumers to skip the checkout line altogether and simply take their items and go. This also marks Amazon's most ambitious rollout of the technology yet.\nStarting next year, Whole Foods stores in Washington, D.C. and Sherman Oaks, California will be outfitted with the Just Walk Out system.\n\nImage source: Getty Images.\nCutting-edge technology, years in the making\nThe company first debuted its groundbreaking technology at the Amazon Go store in 2017. Shoppers use the Amazon app on their smartphones to gain access to the store.\nThe system is powered by computer vision, various sensors, and artificial intelligence algorithms to track customers' movements as they shop. It then detects when items are taken from the shelf and placed in a shopper's bag or basket or perhaps returned to the shelf. Once the user leaves the store, the purchased items are tallied on a digital register tape, and the total is charged to their payment method on file.\nSince the first location opened nearly five years ago, Amazon has worked to perfect its technology, testing it in a variety of location sizes and formats. In addition, the company has expanded beyond the initial Amazon Go stores, introducing the hyperćonvenient solution in several Amazon Fresh locations and full-sized grocery stores.\nAmazon also has some deals with third-party retailers, licensing the tech to privately held airport-shop operator OTG. The company announced early last year that the system would be used at the CIBO Express Market in Newark Liberty International Airport and LaGuardia Airport, with other locations to come.\nThis marks the first time Amazon has used the technology on such a large scale, allowing shoppers to scan the app or insert a credit card associated with their accounts. Customers can also use the company's contactless palm-scanning system, which is also associated with their Amazon Prime accounts.\n\nImage source: Getty Images.\nA $50 billion market opportunity\nSkipping the checkout line is an idea whose time has come.
