True automation would be system that would at 100% accuracy note and bill all of the bagged items you carry out of the shop. Without ever scanning them. Which turns the whole thing to much harder case to solve. 90% is simple, but it really doesn't change the last 10% still needing to do essentially the 90% again...

There’s already Amazon Go which is fully automated
It is kind of ironic that we use this technology to detect shop lifting at clothes stores instead of just charging people at a turnstyle.
