Overview
- Amazon introduced smart delivery glasses that display maps, scan packages, and capture proof-of-delivery photos to streamline courier tasks.
- The device automatically activates when a vehicle stops and guides couriers from recipient identification to walking routes and delivery completion logs to reduce misdeliveries.
- The company says the system uses artificial intelligence to improve delivery efficiency.
- Amazon plans a full introduction in North America next year, with the U.S. beginning deployment before expansion to other regions.
- The New York Times reported that broader robotics adoption could replace over 600,000 new jobs by 2033, a characterization Amazon executives rejected, saying robots complement people.
