Amazon is currently developing smart glasses for their delivery drivers, according to Reuters. The glasses will direct their staff during the final stages of a delivery, around and within buildings. The glasses will "provide turn-by-turn navigation on a small embedded screen."
According to some studies, the last 100 metres of a delivery are responsible for nearly half the cost. This makes sense. Getting to the general location is easy but finding a particular office or apartment block in a 50 story building is hard. I often see unfortunate Uber Eats drivers wandering aimlessly around our office building looking for their hungry, frustrated customers, while the food gets cold.
This sounds like a very useful innovation which will most likely make Amazon's already large lead in delivery that much wider. The company is always moving forward. Buy.
