Amazon Opens Checkout-Free Store

Amazon Go relies on cameras and sensors to track what shoppers remove from the shelves, and what they put back. The store neither has cash registers nor checkout lines as customers are billed after leaving the store using credit cards on file.

Amazon Go, is the company’s latest project aimed at reshaping brick-and-mortar shopping, according to a Reuters report.

The convenience-style store opened to Amazon employees in December 2016 in a test phase.
