Amazon is rolling out Vision-Assisted Package Retrieval (VAPR) technology to its electric delivery fleet, aiming to boost efficiency. The AI-powered system, set to debut in 1,000 Rivian vans by 2025, uses vision-based tech to highlight packages for the current stop, reducing sorting time. Early tests show the system cuts delivery times from five minutes to under a minute per stop.
Amazon is reportedly in talks to develop a new data center campus at River Pointe Commerce Center in Upper Mount Bethel Township, Pennsylvania. If plans move forward, this project would boost local employment with minimal traffic impact. Amazon’s move follows its recent acquisition of a 48MW data center in Luzerne County, potentially signaling a broader push into Pennsylvania’s data center landscape.
