Tesco is fighting back against Amazon with its first "just walk out" store, where it is possible to buy groceries without having to scan items or visit a till. The supermarket's GetGo store in Holborn, central London, follows a small trial of a similar store at Tesco head office in Welwyn Garden City, which has been selling goods to the retailer's staff since 2019. Weight sensors in the shelves work with an AI system that can track an individual's movement around the store and monitor the items they pick up via cameras, which follow each shopper. The AI system works by building a unique skeleton outline of each person rather than using facial recognition. Once inside, shoppers can pick up the items they want without scanning them.

Amazon's radical new approach to buying foods and speeding up the checkout process goes the next mile today, with a full-size grocery store here. The Amazon Go Grocery opens Tuesday, with more than four times the space of the original, 7-Eleven-style, on-the-go type stores first opened in 2018. The e-tailer, which also owns Whole Foods, launched the Go stores as a way for local workers to get in and out, with a just basics menu that bypassed essentials like fruit and frozen foods.

These days, most announcements by tech companies are pretty meh. Details either leak months ahead of time or reveal themselves to be pretty unimpressive. But lately, we've had some real surprises. Months ahead of releasing the Switch this spring, Nintendo decided the future of consoles was its past with the NES Classic. And when Google's AI-powered AlphaGo defeated Lee Se-dol in a best-of-five Go competition, that victory ran counter to experts who believed such results were at least a decade away.

Employees stand outside the new Amazon Go grocery store in Seattle, Washington, U.S., on Tuesday, Dec. 6, 2016.

There was a media frenzy when Amazon Go was announced in December 2016. A grocery store based initially in Seattle, it enables shoppers to literally just walk out with whatever items they choose thanks to sensors recording what they pick up and charging back to their Amazon Prime accounts.

A wake-up call to retail execs around the world, the question on many people's lips is whether that concept is equally applicable to other verticals? From a value proposition, not to mention strategic business perspective, it's something that makes a great deal of sense for grocery, where both the barrier to entry and level of associated risk, is low.

What is the Amazon Go Store, the new retail shopping experience and why is it important? It was a cold day at Amazon headquarters on September 12th, 1997. Jeff Bezos was nervous as he submitted a new and unique patent to the USTPO called "Method and system for placing a purchase order via a communications network" [0]. This came to be known as the Amazon 1-click patent and a few years later it was licensed by Apple for their websites and later iTunes. It has defined the web experience since.
