Amazon is reportedly working on smart glasses that give delivery drivers turn-by-turn directions and help shave seconds off their delivery time. Codenamed "Amelia," the smart glasses are based on the existing Echo Frames platform. However, they will feature an embedded display for more precise directions, including telling them where to turn when they enter a building. Reuters cited anonymous sources from Amazon saying that the project is part of Amazon's efforts to boost the efficiency in the last 100 yards of a delivery.
Amazon is also supposedly exploring adding camera capabilities using the embedded screen so drivers can take photos of the packages as proof. This feature should theoretically allow drivers to carry more packages and continue their tasks since the glasses are hands-free.
