Without much more difficulty they could automate the whole process:
...
Shoppers wait in the front of the store in an expanded deli area. No checkout, just swipe your credit card and out the door. No more navigating around idiots in scooters. No more shoplifting. No more congested isles.
This won't happen. Stores put in a lot of work to their layout and design in order to get you to walk around. That's how they get you to browse their inventory and buy things you didn't think you needed. These may be inefficiencies to you, but it's profit to the stores, and would be suicide for them to change. You're thinking of some future, automated factory-store that wouldn't really be economically viable for people just picking up a handful of products.

There are already ways to see if someone is behind you, called mirrors and turning your head around. Backing over others is a result of not paying attention, and I don't think rearview cameras will fix that.
As just one example of where money would be better spent, and yes it's a pet peeve of mine, is installing a guard rail in the median of the Fairfax County Parkway. There are a handful of deaths from head-on collisions every year, and it would cost only $10 million to install a guardrail.
It costs $10 million to install a guardrail?

Those aren't the hard questions. Those (aside from the pot) are the questions that are so basic they have whole pages on their website outlining their position. If you pay any attention to politics at all, you would have already known the answers.
