Amazon's cashierless grocery store cameras were fooled by a trickster's wardrobe change — but he still got charged for an avocado left by the bathroom
in Seattle on Tuesday, and already someone has tricked the cameras it relies on to tally up shoppers' purchases.
The sensors are "the same types of technologies used in self-driving cars: computer vision, sensor fusion, and deep learning," according toMachkovech headed for the produce section, where he hoped the irregularity of the items might give him an edge in fooling the cameras.
Machkovech also put on a jacket that had been in the bag and removed a pair of sunglasses, hoping the costume change might help him disappear. On the way out, he grabbed a few small non-produce items so he could test his theory.
