Amazon's Innovative Smart Glasses for Delivery Drivers

Amazon is working on developing smart glasses codenamed Amelia, aimed at enhancing the efficiency of delivery drivers. These glasses will provide integrated turn-by-turn directions displayed directly in the driver's line of sight, including navigation details for situations like exiting elevators. The goal is to save time on deliveries by improving the driver’s ability to navigate their routes, potentially speeding up each delivery by seconds, which can accumulate significantly over many trips. However, the project faces challenges, such as ensuring the battery lasts throughout an eight-hour shift and effectively utilizing data from various sources to make the navigation practical.
