What I think is interesting is that I suspect they’ll eagerly license this to competitor stores. A palm reader does not turn your local Safeway into Amazon Go, and they know that.

Having a slice of every point of sale could be huge; imagine how much better this is than having to use FaceID during a pandemic. (Tap tap, pin, pin, tap is a LOT more friction than “hover.”)

I’d pay for it if I ran a retail store. I wonder if Amazon will ever compete with Visa or other payment providers.
