Amazon is opening a physical store without checkout lanes or cashiers

Vox:

On Monday, Amazon introduced a new self-checkout technology that — if it works as advertised — could totally transform the retail sector. Called “Amazon Go,” the technology literally allows people to walk into a store, select items they want to purchase, and walk out. There’s no checkout process at all.

Those of us familiar with Apple’s Retail Stores implementation of this will understand how this might be a huge change in the way retail works.
