<p>Amazon opened its <a href="https://www.engadget.com/2018/01/21/amazon-go-opens-to-public-january-22/">first checkout-free store</a> in early 2018, and it has said it could open <a href="https://www.engadget.com/2018/09/19/amazon-3-000-cashierless-go-stores-2021/">as many as 3,000</a> cashierless Amazon Go stores by 2021. So far, most have been smaller convenience stores, but people have speculated that it&#8217;s <a href="https://www.engadget.com/2018/10/27/amazon-go-inevitable-evolution-of-supermarkets/">only a matter of time</a> before Amazon brings the cashierless checkout to <a href="https://www.engadget.com/2018/12/02/amazon-tests-checkout-free-shopping-for-larger-stores/">large supermarkets</a>. That said, it&#8217;s unclear how exactly Amazon will make that model work with the many items in a grocery store that need to be weighed before purchase, like fresh fruit and vegetables. But last month, Amazon confirmed that its engineers are <a href="https://www.geekwire.com/2019/amazon-confirms-amazon-go-team-running-internal-tests-secretive-retail-store-seattle/">testing Go tech</a> at a 10,400-square-foot retail space in Seattle.</p>
<p>Amazon is notorious for trying multiple ideas at once, and just last week, the company said it plans to roll out <a href="https://www.engadget.com/2019/11/11/amazon-grocery-store-los-angeles/">another grocery store format</a>. Supposedly, that model will be different from Whole Foods but will still have cashiers. Amazon is also considering licensing its cashierless tech to other retailers, like <a href="https://www.engadget.com/2019/09/30/amazon-go-sports-movies/">movie theaters, stadiums</a> and airports.</p>
<p>Amazon did not immediately respond to a request for comment.</p>

<p>It&#8217;s not quite as ground-breaking as what&#8217;s being done by Amazon with its <a href="https://www.engadget.com/2018/10/27/amazon-go-inevitable-evolution-of-supermarkets/">Amazon Go</a> stores. Here, customers just pick up whatever they want and a combination of sensors and cameras makes sure they&#8217;re billed automatically when they leave the store &#8212; Sainsburys&#8217; tech requires a bit of work by the customer. However, the popularity of <a href="https://www.engadget.com/2017/12/29/kroger-expands-self-checkout-scanning-nationwide/">self-scan grocery shopping</a> in the UK means the process won&#8217;t be alien to users.</p>
<p>The initiative uses Sainsburys&#8217; existing <a href="https://www.about.sainsburys.co.uk/news/latest-news/2019/first-till-free-grocery-story-29042019">SmartShop Scan, Pay &amp; Go</a> technology, which is currently live in eight of its stores across London. In these locations, though, customers still have the option of making their purchase at a checkout. By removing tills entirely, Sainsbury&#8217;s is making a clear push to get this new way of doing things over the line, and certainly marks the beginning of the end for traditional modes of bricks-and-mortar shopping.</p>

<p>Ford is blaming your kids for shopping cart mishaps, which seems a bit unfair.  &#8220;Children love to copy adults &#8212; when they push a trolley, to their minds, it&#8217;s like they are behind the wheels of a car &#8212; with long, wide supermarket aisles as their racetrack,&#8221; the company wrote. That&#8217;s fair enough, but adults are just as likely to let a loaded cart roll away into a parked F-150 while they fumble with the keys.</p>
<p>The video (above) shows the system working to perfection, smoothly braking to prevent accidents with stacked fruit, hapless shoppers and a Mustang. Suffice to say, this device isn&#8217;t coming to a grocery store near you, considering the frequency with which shopping carts (trolleys in the UK) are purloined. Still, it&#8217;s a fun prototype and a canny piece of marketing from Ford.</p>
