Amazon is phasing out its checkout-less grocery stores with “Just Walk Out” technology, first reported by The Information Tuesday. The company’s senior vice president of grocery stores says they’re moving away from Just Walk Out, which relied on cameras and sensors to track what people were leaving the store with.

Sure they can, it just isn't as simple as "just" ;) How do you, for example, determine who picked which item if two people are standing next to each other? Or if something is put back?

Sure, a proof of concept will always work. Building it for the real world is a completely and utterly different beast.
