Amazon is developing "smart" glasses for couriers - these glasses will help them navigate between buildings more easily and get to the customer's address faster. According to Reuters, the glasses will show couriers a step-by-step route to a house or apartment. The glasses will show the courier on which floor to stop, where to turn and where there are obstacles such as closed gates.
This technology can help couriers save time. Amazon is reportedly working on a lightweight, long-lasting battery to make this technology fully operational. In addition, Amazon should develop some strategies to ensure that couriers wear these glasses, as this will likely be a required piece of equipment.
According to Reuters, the project could require Amazon to spend years collecting detailed information about the roads, sidewalks, curbs and other roads leading to each home and building. It is not yet clear whether the project will finally be realized and it could be postponed at any time.
