Amazon Applies 'Just Walk Out' Technology to Shopping Carts

Amazon.com (NASDAQ: AMZN) wants to bring the "just walk out" technology that powers its Amazon Go convenience stores to your local supermarket. The Amazon Dash Cart will debut at the Woodland Hills, California, grocery store the e-commerce giant opened earlier this year, which is separate from its Whole Foods Market chain. Like the Amazon Go technology, the shopping cart version links to your Amazon account and, when you pass through a special checkout lane in the store, it automatically charges your account for the items in your cart.
