not really.
amazon's just walk out is the leader in this area, and it came out recently that the bulk of transactions, 7 in 10, are offloaded for manual review in india
amazon of course denied the claim, but so in vague corporate speak, and failed to provide figures to counter the 7-in-10. they also did confirm that they're scaling back just walk out. i don't think those things would be the case if this technology worked as they were hoping.
The Amazon shop is a lot more complicated than a few berries on a white shelf.
not in the ways that matter, and small, organic items like individual berries are far harder to account for than standardized product packaging
Could be or could be the berries are put in the same arrangement each day and it's just tracking which black blob disappears.
pretty sure items on a shop shelf are in the same arrangement each day
