5 years ago, we tested Amazon's Go store, concluding that "IPVM's trip to and testing of Amazon Go's San Francisco store shows a number of significant operational and economic issues that undermine the hype." At that time, reports were that Amazon was going to open thousands of those stores. Years later, they do not even have 2 dozen. This is a great example of actually testing and analyzing the technology to understand economic viability and not simply believing hype.
