Silicon Valley wants us to believe that their autonomous products are a kind of self-guided magic, but the technology is clearly not there yet. A quick peak behind the curtain has consistently revealed a product base that, at a minimum, is still deeply reliant on human workforces.

It's normal in the industry but the industry likes to tell the public otherwise so from time to time these articles pop up.

Amazon's just walk out shop, with AI looking with cameras what you bought, was actually run by indians remotely because the automation didn't quite work. Food delivery robots are run by people in low cost areas. Over guy runs multiple robots with a pont-and-click interface. That kind of thing. I'm sure autonomy is worked on but it's not fully autonomous yet.
