Amazon Go is a grab-and-go grocery store, in the most literal sense possible. There are no lines and no checkouts — you grab your items off the shelf, and you go.

Wondering how it works? Basically, you'll use the Amazon Go app to check in at the store, and smart sensors will track the items you take off the shelves or put back before you leave.

Then, you can simply walk out of the store and your Amazon account will be charged for the purchases, and you can check the receipt in the app to make sure everything is correct.

If you want to shop at an Amazon Go store, you might have to take a trip, unless you're lucky enough to live in one of the cities that has one. Currently, Amazon Go has 21 stores in four locations: New York, Chicago, San Francisco, and Seattle.

Here's exactly how shopping at Amazon Go works.
