AI-powered Caper Carts at Wegmans use cameras, sensors and digital scales to detect items, display real-time spending and enable checkout-free grocery shopping.
Fidji Simo, the former Instacart CEO, is betting she can turn AI from a luxury into a utility that closes the gap between the haves and have-nots.
To use the wheeled tool, Wegmans shoppers can log in to their Shoppers Club account via a screen on the cart. “Caper Carts are transforming everyday grocery shopping into a faster, more personalized experience,” the Chief Connected Stores Officer at Instacart, David McIntosh, said in a statement.
