  Yea, i think your video surveillance case has a lot of value. With AI Algorithms these days and the postive feedback loop being clearly a purchase, it would be weird not to have this.

  Yea, that does sound like breaking problem. I have no clue how to begin solving that one.

  I feel like there was an idea, not in this article, where people would scan items as they add them to their cart and then this walkout process was really just a redundant verification of walking out with the purchase. Still, that does sound like a lot of error prone noise.

  I wonder if they just check the phone data. I assume most amazon customers have the app setup with location sharing. Not all, but most.

  I see teo reported major issues

  First, the made the product manufacturers include them on their own dime. I get the logic, have that manufacturer include adding them in their assembly line process. But as stated, this was an extra expense for a couple of reasons and at times made the product unprofitable.

  The solution, to start, seems to be either adding them via a walmart processing center, or have a funds process where sellers could get walmart to refund the cost and share it. I guess the third option would be to raise all prices at walmart to ensure the cost was bulit into the product.

  Second problem, data load. Compared to 2006, i think we are much better at large datsets these days both from a space and processing power perspective. Datacenters in 2006 were often on-prem with upgrades to size having large and expensive lead times. AWS changed that and Amazon owns that, so i expect that bottle neck to be solvable.
