Amazon’s cashierless checkout technology is now being tested for use in larger stores, according to a report from The Wall St. Journal on Sunday. The system, which involves an array of cameras to track shoppers’ purchases alongside weight sensors on shelves, has been rolling out this year to smaller convenience stores across the U.S. in markets, including Seattle, Chicago, San Francisco, and soon New York.

The new report says Amazon is now trying out the same technology in a larger space in Seattle, where the ceilings are higher and there are more products to choose from – things that make the system more challenging to implement.
