Amazon Go, a 1800-square-foot retail space located in the company\u2019s hometown of Seattle, lets shoppers just grab the items they want and leave; the order gets charged to their Amazon account afterwards.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>Amazon Go works by using computer vision and sensors to detect what items you\u2019re taking out of the store. You start by scanning an app as you enter the Amazon Go shop. You do your normal shopping, and the sensors throughout the store identify the items in your cart and charge them to your account when you walk out the door. It\u2019ll feel like shoplifting, except you\u2019re actually being watched by more cameras than you can imagine.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><em>&#8220;I can&#8217;t wait to shoplift from this store.&#8221;<\/em> &#8211; said every\u00a0person without a moral compass.<\/p>\n<p>Tech looks amazing.
