Amazon continues to improve its delivery methods and is developing a new tool - smart glasses for drivers. According to Reuters, the glasses aim to help reduce the time spent on each delivery by giving employees access to useful information right in front of their eyes. The company expects that this approach will allow drivers to navigate the route much faster and reduce the number of delivery errors.

This new product is part of Amazon's global strategy aimed at optimising logistics. The smart glasses are expected to provide virtual tips on addresses and the delivery process, as well as instantly highlight the next stop. In this way, Amazon expects each delivery to take less time, which is especially important during peak seasons when the volume of orders increases significantly.

Currently, the company is testing the glasses on a limited scale, collecting feedback and improving the technology before possible mass integration. If the testing shows positive results, Amazon is likely to expand the use of the glasses to all drivers. So far, Amazon representatives have refrained from commenting on the exact dates or cost of the device, but according to preliminary data, the solution will appear in the next few years.

According to Reuters, this technological breakthrough by Amazon may once again put the company at the top of the list of innovative companies in the logistics sector. If smart glasses really help speed up delivery, customers' expectations for speedy delivery will become even more realistic.
