China's Grocery Shopping Is 100 Years In The FUTURE! (AMERICA COULD NEVER)

Maintaining a small number of criminals will stimulate the development of anti-theft systems and models. It is an important key to advanced civilization.

Okay, this just got weird.......I am a........gonna go...

China has 1/4 the arable land of the US. Yes, China needs to play up their grocery shopping.

So it's ok for Americans to steal from their supermarkets?

Buddy, when Viktor Belenko defected to the West in his MIG-25 back in 1976 and later saw American grocery stores in NYC, he thought the entire city was a CIA construction just for him. Ask your parents what China was like in 1976 with half rotten dog meat in the markets. This is more to make you feel good than it is to embarrass Americans.

We Beijing people don't eat dog meat and don't sound like you visited Beijing before, it sounds extremely stupid. besides, we don't live in the past, we live in the present.

Who still grocery shop nowadays?

I uses Amazon, Ebay and Hello Fresh for grocery and fresh food, and If I ever need to shop at a supermarket, they do delivery for free when you shop online you know?

I can't even remember when is the last time I actually went to the Supermarket, I did last month because I wanted to use their toilet when I am outside but I don't remember last time I was in a supermarket browsing for food...probably 5 years ago??

I am surprised supermarket is still in business......

One of my local supermarkets, Stop&Shop, has had scanning guns available for customers to walk around with for over 15 years (2007) so you don't have to go through the checkout...

China is definitely way behind as stores can even skip all the hardware and you can just scan things with your phone.

This is from 12 years ago

One of my local (well, next suburb stores actually) have AI Self Serve check out where the Checkout counter have AI to identify the item you bought. So you don't need to put stuff in yourself

Woolworths expands self-checkout AI that critics say treats ‘every customer as a suspect’

Supermarket says cameras used to detect accidental wrong scans while experts say the technology is ‘punitive’ and call for reforms to protect privacy

people hated them tho, it make them feel like they are criminal

Amazon has a way more advanced cart than the Chinese one in the video. You don't even have to line up the barcode to a front scanner. The cart identifies it automatically when you drop it in the cart.

yes, it does produce too as there is a scale in the cart,

China always years behind..but somehow PDF members think they are ahead.

I think cameras above self-checkouts is pretty standard here.

It depends on how widely they are being used, the OP video was made by Americans and they don't seem to know the tech in US. just as every country has digitial payment devices but very few countries can be a totally cash free country like China.

Computer vision is 21st Century tech. Those Chinese carts are using old bar code tech scanners. The Amazon dash cart sees the item with cameras and recognizes it. No barcodes needed.

Amazon Dash Cart enables customers to skip checkout lane

‘Smart’ shopping cart keeps track of purchases and completes transaction

www.supermarketnews.com

Called the Amazon Dash Cart, the cart uses computer vision algorithms and sensor fusion technology to identify items that customers place in its basket. To pay, shoppers walk through a special Amazon Dash Cart lane, where sensors automatically identify the cart and the items selected, and their payment is processed using the credit card on their Amazon account.

With computer vision you don't even need a cart. You just grab an item and walk out.

It depends on how widely they are being used, it's just one video, doesn't mean it's the top science, it only reflects what those two Americans think. China is very good at applying tech in mass scale, like HSR, EVs..., that is more important, application is the king.

That's the same system we had I think just less mobile because it would be on the exit. IIRC, there used to be manual self serve exit, you park the trolley and then scan each item by hand, now you just have to park the trolley and they will do it for you

 

[Hamartia Antidote]

LOL! Yeah, you got burned by a clickbait title. This is why you should be careful of what you post.

I suppose those carts in the OP are in every grocery store in China?

I'm sure Chinese companies will come over to the US and see what tech works and bring those ideas back to China and apply it on a mass scale and say they are the most cutting edge innovative country in the world.

It DOES mean it is top science. Becuase they would have to be invented first.

I mean China would have more mobile/internet user than America for the account there are more Chinese than American, does that mean China lead that technology of mobile phone or internet??

AI/Visual recognition is not something new by the way

Hmm..that just sounds like the old way of having a cashier do everything.
