If Amazon has its way, that scene in every '90s comedy where the delivery person is startled by someone's bloodthirsty Rottweiler will be a relic of the past. According to Reuters, the e-commerce giant is working on a version of its Echo Frames smart glasses for drivers that could shave time off each delivery by directing them in and around buildings.
