Reporting on this was a bit wrong:

https://www.forrester.com/blogs/no-amazon-isnt-killing-just-walk-out-but-rather-pushing-hard-in-it/

See point 2 there: "estimates of 1,000 employees in India manually labeling transactions [..] had “no factual basis.” [..] small-format stores [..] required little to no human intervention."

It is true that some amount of cases require remote human assistance, both at these stores and autonomous cars. But it's a very small amount in successful products. (Which does *not* include Tesla!)
