For Amazon delivery drivers, new glasses promise something more than just clearer vision or the blocked sun glare.
Amazon is developing AI-powered smart glasses for its delivery drivers, the company said in a Wednesday blog post. The glasses will allow drivers to scan packages, following detailed walking directions, and document proof-of-delivery without their phones. Using cameras, as well as AI-powered sensing abilities, the technology will create an augmented reality display for drivers that includes information like hazards, as well as maps that direct drivers to particular building unit numbers.
