It’s not clear how closely the delivery drivers’ glasses would mirror Amazon’s Echo Frames, but not everyone who’s tried the current glasses is leaving rave reviews.
“These don’t have nose pads which means I’m sure you’re noticing as we’re going I’m having to push up the glasses constantly,” one reviewer said on YouTube.
Amazon only sold about 10,000 of the latest Echo Frames, while Ray-Ban’s Meta glasses are having huge success. The Ray-Ban model is the company’s best-seller in 60% of Ray-Ban stores worldwide.
Sources told Reuters could take Amazon years to perfect the smart glasses for drivers.
