Amazon Ditches 'Just Walk Out' Checkouts at Its Grocery Stores (gizmodo.com)

Though it seemed completely automated, Just Walk Out relied on more than 1,000 people in India watching and labeling videos to ensure accurate checkouts.

So the AI wasn't good enough and now they are going to do what? Self checkouts?

Sounds like they're doing a "scan & go" type technology. You scan things yourself as you put them into your basket, then you can just walk out, so no need to line up at the self-checkout.
