The shopping cart that could replace cashiers
Move over cash registers and make way for a register on wheels
A smart shopping cart that scans items inside it could replace cashiers, says the inventors.
The cart, created by Acorn Intelligence, a Lithuanian start-up tech company, not only can scan products but it customers will also be able to pay using the cart.
Edvinas Baublys, the founder Acorn Intelligence likened the invention to a cash register on wheels in a report.

Baublys estimated that the cart could be in stores in two to five years.
