This French Grocery Chain Is Totally Trolling Amazon Go
WHAT: French grocery chain Monoprix creates an almost exact remake of Amazon's recent promo video for its tech-powered grocery store of the future. WHY WE CARE: Not long ago, Amazon unveiled its plans for a beta version of its new cashierless grocery shopping experience called Go. Here, Monoprix sidesteps all the "computer vision," "deep learning algorithms," and "sensor fusion much like you'd find in self-driving cars" that Amazon touted about Go, and instead trolls the tech giant with an almost exact remake of the Go promo--actor doppelgangers dressed in the same outfits, similarly framed shots--with a human solution to the whole cashier line-up problem. And they deliver your groceries in an hour. Is there an Amazon drone for that yet?
