Building for the physical world
summary
Clear claims and artifacts: an AI-powered caper cart that uses computer vision and weight sensors to total items and enable checkout without lines; a new app, Fizz: $5 flat fee group ordering, that shares orders among friends and delivers in ~30 minutes; vehicle features like 9.2 kW power-on-board that let trucks power tools or houses. Teams describe prototypes (foam-core mockups, tablet-on-a-Pringles-can), orchestration of sensors, and where latency, input models, or staffing changes actually broke or succeeded.
