Your union will help for a little bit but expect to be homeless pretty soon chief.

>>57852553
sorry you fat fuck, but your low skill work is indeed the next to go.

>>57852553
>>57852563
Union won't help at all.
Strikes only work as a threat if you're not striking against your replacement.

Truckers are essential, but the skill of driving a big truck can now be automated. Your job is going to be gone in less than a decade.

>>57852534
The question is: will the robots actually try to deliver or just leave a tag?

>>57852611

Prove to me my job will be gone. All you guys just think "Oh drive on road, and it can backup to a dock to unload everything."

Guys know nothing other than what that Otto video shows you. And guess what? There's still a dude in the truck because no truck can backup to a dock. None of you have any idea what warehouses and stores are like to deliver to. Not one store is the same. Not every location has a football field size area to deliver to. Come back when you have proof that trucks will be able to do everything a trucker can do. As far as I can tell, Cross Country jobs will be lost.

>>57852553

>>57853279
I'm wondering how they would prevent theft, you basically WILL require a smart phone with an active app and account setup to automatically bill you... but how do you tell who is legit unless you get security to check everyone?

>>57853345
No it doesn't since the point is making the checkout process automated. Doesn't mean they can't have security.

>>57853018
The problems with drone deliver include, but are not limited to:
-issues with theft prevention
-potential for drone damaging property and/or killing people if engine fails
-birds of prey attacking drones
-air space regulation
-signal interference causing drones to deliver incorrectly
-inadequate landing zones
-drone unable to place package such that it is protected from wind/rain/snow/etc.


This shopping system is a straight improvement to a store that not only streamlines the customer experience, but eliminates the need for most of the service employees in a store. Grocery stores in my city already have self-serve checkouts; this is just the next step. Whether or not it gets widely implemented depends on how much the system costs, which will drop extremely quickly with computer hardware companies falling over themselves to create dedicated machine learning hardware right now.

This isn't a technical paper, i'm not sure what all you autists think they should have said besides comparing to self driving car tech, on the surface level that's exactly what it is and it's the easiest way to explain it to a laymen.

>>57852376

>>57852376
When this goes live in Seattle I expect somebody to steal thousands of Amazon prime accounts, and hordes of crackheads to be hired as shoplifting crews to clean out this store for $0.10 per $1 retail and shit sold on the black market or to corner stores for 1/2 price.

They caught an old Chinese woman here with 3 million worth of retail she was buying/selling from crackheads jacking stores. Those stores all have security and employees watching cameras kek, good luck Amazon Go

I find self driving cars cool but my pops is a truck driver and I don't want him to lose his job ._.

>>57853662
Which to be honest just eliminates a whole huge chunk of the potential market. Businesses want more customers not less..

>>57853805
literally millions of people will lose their jobs in the coming decades. It will take a radical movement of change for our political system to catch up with whats happening in automation.

>>57853805
It will happen across the entire driving industry, couriers, delivery drivers, truckers, taxis, etc.

Why pay 100 truck drivers a $50k+ salary + benefits and they can only legally work a certain number of hours in a row. When you can just buy 70 self driving trucks for $500,000 a pop and 4 mechanics at $120,000 a year and make the same number of delivery's, if not more because self driving trucks never sleep.

I use voice commands for half the shit I use my phone for when i'm in the car and I almost never have to repeat stuff anymore, it's nowhere near where it was even 2 years ago.

>>57852376
The only reason I use Amazon is so I don't have to leave my house. Now if I do ever leave I never have to socialize to anyone even when buying groceries. This is a win-win situation.

>>57854159

we already have Amazon fresh delivery where I live, I already have no reason to leave the house

>>57854173
Now if the delivery guy were a robot.
But the last guy (not amazon) looked at me funny for ordering groceries online.
Never again.

Also you do get the shitty soon expiring stuff they can't get rid of in the actual market. The milk I bought expired one day after delivery. And I bought 5 liters of it.

I work at a grocery store, I can tell you that cashiers use up the most hours by department.

We are talking thousands of hours per week for a medium sized store.

>>57852376
Amazon is literally the only company on earth I trust and as soon at this happens sign me up.

But I never shop in stores like this since online delivery is much easier.

JWOT is the fucking future. Amazon is the fucking future. I love this company so fucking much.

Kindles Amazing.
Amazon Prime & Prime Video Amazing.
Amazon Echo - needs work but soon to be amazing.
Amazon Fire Phone - a failure but a novel experiment.
Amazon Go will change the fucking planet.
Washington Post - Only honest news outlet in the game dedicated to getting real stories.
AWS - Literally as close to perfection a service can be.

Best company on the fucking planet, Dread Pirate Bezos is a personal hero of mine.

>>57853818
Amazon wants more conscious customers, not dull customers. Just like how Apple stores eliminates the low income market, Amazon is fine with eliminating the low-tech market and attracting more high-tech consumers.

>>57854311
smart =/= rich

>>57854323
Yes but poor = dumb

>>57854323

Thats given, however correlations are there.

Lower income = less education/intelligence/food quality/etc

Higher income = more educated/etc

>a site that openly hates on Reddit
>same exact snotty response to anything that happens in the world
if you guys are against Amazon Go simply because of how big the company is and therefor accuse it of being a botnet or w/e, then you are the pretentious fuck this world could go without.

>>57854349
>>57854346
All I'm saying is, if someone's buying overpriced groceries for a little extra convenience, you can't say great things about their IQ.

>>57854416
Time = money

If you're poor and time isn't worth much, then you forsake convenience for low cost products. If your rich and your time is worth 100x more than the poors, then the convenience factor works out for them.

There's also the prestige factor that rich want, they may be smart about money but they're still humans and want to associate themselves with a high quality brand.

Firstly, that's easily something you could complain about and get a refund for. Secondly who the fuck buys 5 litres of milk? And third, since amazon isn't an actual grocery store, all of their shit is fresh. They buy what they need and because all of their stuff is already done through computers, they just do basic data analysis on customer buying patterns to make sure they have proper stock of everything.

In a properly managed system old stock simply doesn't exist.

>>57854469
Food is a substantial amount of a family's budget, who also happen to be the largest consumers of food. They ain't paying for that shit unless it's competitively priced.
I can see it working for 20-somethings who work 60 hours a week, but it won't grow to any scale in its current form.

>>57854486
why the fuck do you mouthbreathers think that a store without checkouts will be devoid of all security? the two aren't related at all. and even if there's not a single human being on the property, the system will be able to track your face, know that it was you who came in yesterday and took shit without paying, notify the police, provide them with a photo of you, etc. you could steal shit only a few times before you'd get arrested with a shitload of video evidence neatly filed away for your prosecution.

stop being fucking retarded

>>57854503
I like milk and hate shopping, so I'll buy for a 1-2 weeks in advance.

>>57853855
>70 self driving trucks
>$500,000

Kek, you'd struggle to get 20 old good condition manual trucks for that

>>57854539
Its a prototype right now, however they can still negotiate prices like regular grocer. However they might be going for fully automated (no cashier employees) grocery shopping experience, in which case, the reduction in the cost of the products would be passed down to the consumers.

Amazon is mainly going for disruptive technology. The millennial generations don't want to deal with people as much as people of the past. So this would attract millennials and henceforth.

>>57854600
You're retarded, it was an example not a literal line item I was legit going to order. The prices are all made up.

It doesn't honestly matter what the truck costs unless it's a $10M+ truck (it isn't) it will be worth it in the long run.

No one thinks self driving cars and trucks will save money in the first few years, this is about 5-10 years out when you start seeing return on investment, and by that point in time the manufacturing process has cheapened as well so replacing the fleet is half the cost of the initial investment.

From that point on it's all gravy.

>>57854600
500000 a pop you idiot read it before you try to defend your shitty unskilled labour.

>>57854616
Those reductions in costs are not something that Amazon will want to give up, if they even exist. It seems like every time someone puts something like this together, it's priced so goddamn high thanks to the tech still being expensive af. This has a high probability of having that problem.
It could happen, but not like this.

Personally, I'm skeptical that autonomous vehicles will ever become standard. More commonplace, certainly, but not the norm.

Driving is an act of applying pattern matching and general heuristics to quickly comprehend the world around your vehicle and move it accordingly. The human brain is very, very, very good at applying pattern matching to its visual input and quickly comprehending the world. It also expertly understands the intention and motivation of other drivers and pedestrians.

Computers, short of scifi level AI that can simulate the human brain, are absolute shit at this. All it can do is try to build a 3D map of its surroundings (usually needing some variant of RADAR since computer vision seems to be an incredibly hard problem) and apply collision avoidance.

That is not the same thing as a human driver, who truly understands/comprehends the road with only a quick glance from their delicate organic eyes. Even monocular drivers seem to do just fine because we don't even require stereoscopy to perform half-decent depth perception.

On a freeway with strong road markings, the tech does well and I fully expect an advanced version of cruise control to become standard.

But I live in a small village. To get to the main road I have to drive down a narrow single lane with several blind turns, no markings and overhanging foliage, pass an awkward four way intersection with crappy visibility, and cross a crumbling bridge even narrower than the lane. A computer would shit bricks here, yet there are never any crashes and nobody thinks much of it.

Even if I lived in a large city, I would still want to drive places like this to visit people, and delivery vehicles still need to get here.

>>57853302

not even trolling, the mark of the beast will be something of this nature

this might be a gimmick now, but imagine how things will be when this is the standard, and cash is no longer accepted

>>57854693
Initial cost would be high to consumers if a company can't absorb the high cost. For Amazon, who'se whole business have been shifting down the cost and passing the savings to consumers and operating at a loss for a long time, I think they can do the cost-cutting method and passing the savings to consumers pretty fine.

>>57854730
that dragon dildo was for my moth-- i mean girlfriend

>>57854751
That would be a feat. If it doesn't catch on in the beginning it'll be because of the prices.
Judging by the ad, it's all prepackaged shit, which is notoriously expensive anyway, so there's little hope for it right off the bat.

I wonder how long it's going to take you mongoloids to understand what machine learning is capable of

>>57854715
That is, if the current state of aotumobiles stay the same
What I think will eventually happen is that all cars will start being suit with some sort of tracker, be it gps, radio, some sort of longer range nfc, whatever tech is the best at that time
Eventually cars without this tracker will be ruled out
Once all cars in the road have this tracker, autonomous cars will only need to have maps with the roads in their memory, and will automatically regulate traffic by keeping track of all the other cars in the road (thanks to the said trackers)
If there is an accident, all cars approaching the accidents one will see an anomaly in that car and stop traffic safely
Autonomous cars will still have to be equipped with sensors to detect animals, humans and possible debris that accidentally lands on the road
These are just my thougjts, but they sound the most plausible of all I've heard really

A LIDAR on a chip, that's cheap as hell and 1000x faster than the mechanical counterparts.
Stuff like this will bring machine vision to a whole new level in the very near future.

>Personally, I'm skeptical that autonomous vehicles will ever become standard. More commonplace, certainly, but not the norm.
Ever is a long time, self driving cars will without a doubt become the norm and I bet it's going to be 20 years max until our roads are absolutely filled with them.

>>57856714
>20 years max
they had radar assisted cruise control 20 years ago and still only the upper end of cars have these now. the tiny tiny advancements in self driving have taken decades to get where they are - and they really havent gone far to normalizing the technology yet. there is no way anything remotely like self driving cars will be around in 20 years.

>How does it work?
>[[Insert techno babble here]]

so instead of debating the merits of the store how about how it fucking works

given that the only customer interaction is at a turnstyle and lack of direct identification of products(no scanning shit) I would bet against any sort of radio ID
and due to their "lol its liek smart cars guys" marketing I bet they use camera tracking to ID each person
scan your phone at the turnstyle and an overhead camera network picks you out and tracks you though the store
cameras or weight sensors in the shelves track products

>>57853579
it's not like there are 10000 cameras with face recognition and all your data from the smartphone.
You can do shit in one store, the next time the door will not open since you are not a welcomed guest and the AI will recognize you.

Just because a concept existed in the past, doesn't mean it was actually a viable option.
There's craptons of technology involved in self driving cars, not just radars.
Not to mention there hasn't been a push for that kind of technology in the past, it's been a novelty at best, there hasn't been a real need for it to exist.

Now we're at a point where nations are heavily focusing on automation and all technologies put together, are making self driving cars reality.
Just like self driving forklifts.
Sure the concept might have existed in the past, but it was too expensive or otherwise impossible to implement.
Well now they're popping up all over the place and quickly becoming a standard in modern warehouses.
20 years is an eternity in technology. Just think back 20 years and what it was like.
In that time span without a doubt we're going to have self driving vehicles all over the place in 1st world nations.

>>57858115
Well maybe I'm not made of money when all smart phone plans are fucking expensive as shit and forced bundled with data plans.

>>57858144
>craptons of technology involved in self driving cars
This is why it will take so long to implement anything anywhere near "all over"
> Just like self driving forklifts.
This is the equivalent of comparing electric cars to electric bumper cars as effective replacements.
The warehouses are specifically designed around the automation and completely automated. Mixing humans with automation is just lawsuits waiting to happen. And our centuries of compiled road systems are not ready to accept this change without major changes that will take probably the rest of the century to replace.

You are forgetting that less people are living in such circumstances every day. Rural populations are dying.

What will happen in the future is you will simply be cut off from any kind of inexpensive shipping, and your community will become even more marginal.

That's a product that's differentiated as being a luxury. If the food is the quality that it showed in the commercial, then that is definitely not the case, more like the opposite.

And these days, how much of that is done by automation. In some ways it feels like a sleight of hand. Rather than give the same product while laying off workers and automating, they're avoiding it by providing a "new" product which is built from the ground up, except not really, and the old product doesn't exist anymore, but it's okay, because nobody cares about the poor people getting poorer.

>>57860854

Robots or human workers arrange the order to bags.
Customer comes to store, authorises through private key QR code or nfc or enters it manually, verifies the contents of his purchase, pick up the bags and proceeds to exit.

Nope. Kind of understandable because we're all the way down here (as far as shipping) but it's been pretty shit over the years. Safe to say we're behind in most 1st world things. Newegg launched here recently but their prices were just as expensive, if not worse than every other seller.

we have a similar thing at work now, they got rid of all our vending machines and replaced them with shelves of food you check-out yourself, they have cameras to check on theft but when you have crowds getting snacks for break you figure there's only so much it could prevent, I think the idea is that people are less likely to steal on an honor system, it's overpriced as shit though unless you pay with a prepaid card, I lose mine all the time though, It gets me pissed as fuck i'm going broke buying this overpriced shit at work but i've only ever grab stuffed without paying once or twice, there still making mad bank of my dumb ass.

in 50 years all manual jobs will be replaced by robots and humans will either get paid to do nothing/watch the robots work, service the robots or be wiped out of existence.

>>57854285
it's a good company, coming froma guy who got fired as a temp working there, best thing it has going for it is what has got to be the best board of directors a companies ever known in terms of actually wanting to push what they can do and achieve instead of just profits, the CEO is dead smart and doesn't bring anyone on who he knows won't evolve the company.

Helps of course that's it's still a new company, come 20 years it will probably go to shit when the old guard leaves and a bunch of asshats from business school take over and loose all sense of vision like always happens with American companies.

Far fewer employees required. No POS system required. Cashless transactions all handled by one central server means management is simplified. Tracking shopping habits in real time means that changes can be made to product layouts to maximize profits by manipulating buying habits. Customers can be notified via the app when their frequently bought products go on sale, or sales can be created for specific shoppers to encourage a store visit.

That's just off the top of my head.

I just realized it will be really difficult for a car to know to just ignore undangerous debris like plastic bags compared to denser objects, that's something that as a human you know isn't heavy just by seeing what it is, you don't look at a plastic bag and go "oh that might be really heavy I better stop and hold up traffic just in case"

Well actually writing it out there are probably some people who held up traffic for that shit but still, cars can't know that

>>57862050

Holy fuck this didn't dawn on me.

That's genius.

Working for a logistics company atm which is packing & shipping for Amazon.

It will be at least several years before machines can pack shit and even more time before they become cost efficient.

Consider it a open, limited beta test. I haven't read up completely on it, but I doubt these stores are being opened up in Buttfuck County, USA, population 5000. Just large metropolitan centers where there's lots of people to start, and still considerable amount when the venn diagram isolates Prime subscribers with smart phones who don't give a fuck about the "botnet" ... if they even heard of that term.
Enough customers that the store at worst isn't a massive money pit. Even if it does operate at a small loss, it'll just be considered research costs. And not so much customers that they can't provide a good service, and it's not a major catastrophe when problems arise. As they see how it operates, then can tweak things for efficiency, address unforeseen issues, and figure out how they can open up access to non-Prime or smartphone owning people.

It's like when Tesla decided to make a sports car first. Doesn't seem intuitive to launch an auto company with a car that few can afford. But those Roadster owners were effectively beta testers getting top-notch service as Tesla worked out bugs and planned for bigger markets.

The secret is not what bosses want, but the accumulation of wealth. A system where the rich don't get richer and the poor don't get poorer than the system will not develop naturally. The rich and powerful will always seek to expand their wealth and influence.
Someone sitting on their ass being served by robots does not increase the wealth of the elite and therefore will not happen.

How does it feel knowing that the same technology that makes a Roomba crawl around on the floor will put you out of a job?

Technology is MORE than capable as it stands to perform such a basic task.

As for unloading, simple, just have another bot on the other end, ready to open the bay doors and unload.

You can get defensive and upset all you want, but the technology is coming and it's coming fast, the ONLY thing 'delaying' the inevitable is the sheer scale of how many truckers/trucks there are on the road (in the U.S. alone mind you) today.
