"Amazon is developing AI-powered smart glasses for its delivery drivers, the company said in a Wednesday blog post. The glasses will allow drivers to scan packages, following detailed walking directions, and document proof-of-delivery without their phones. Using cameras, as well as AI-powered sensing abilities, the technology will create an augmented reality display for drivers that includes information like hazards, as well as maps that direct drivers to particular building unit numbers. The glasses will automatically activate once a driver parks at a delivery location and can support prescription and transition lenses within its design."
"Eliminating needing to use a phone, as was the provision of convenience instructions, is aimed to increase the safety and efficiency of the delivery process, the company said. Future iterations of the glasses aim to give drivers "real-time defect detection" if they drop off a package at a wrong address. The device will also be able to adjust to low-light conditions and detect pets in customers' yards."

The program supports Amazon's rapid expansion of its delivery network.
