Becoming more human through mass automation – RRE Ventures Perspectives

Amazon announced their latest innovation, Go. Think of Go as a futuristic grocery store. Using sensors, artificial intelligence and computer vision, Amazon is reinventing the shopping experience that we've all grown accustomed to for the last seventy years.

When you walk out of the store, Amazon will magically charge you for that item.
