Amazon plans to implement its Vision-Assisted Package Retrieval (VAPR) technology in 1,000 electric delivery vans by early next year to enhance driver efficiency. This AI-based system helps drivers quickly locate packages during deliveries, reportedly saving over 30 minutes per route in initial tests. VAPR eliminates the need for manual barcode scanning by using computer vision to identify packages, projecting cues on items to streamline the delivery process. This initiative is part of a broader trend, with other companies like FedEx and UPS also utilizing AI to improve delivery operations.
