Amazon Unveils AI Tool to Help Drivers Find Packages Faster.

Amazon has unveiled a new artificial intelligence tool called Vision Assisted Package Retrieval (VAPR) to help drivers find packages more efficiently. The tool uses computer-vision technology to project a green circle on packages to be delivered at each stop and red Xs on those to be delivered later. This technology, initially developed for Amazon warehouses, has been adapted for vans and integrated with delivery-route navigation software. The tool is expected to shorten the typical delivery route by about 30 minutes and will be deployed in 1,000 Amazon vans next year. This announcement reflects Amazon's focus on near-term efforts to improve efficiency and reduce costs in its delivery operations. [Extracted from the article]
