The retail giant has reportedly started monitoring delivery drivers who sing along to the radio claiming it’s a cause of distracted driving
Amazon trying to cover their ass?
Updated Wednesday, September 4, 2024 5:10 p.m. EST - Amazon reached out to deny the reports of a crack down on singing along with the radio in trucks and provided this PR video clip as evidence. A PR spokesperson told Jalopnik: “This post is completely inaccurate. Amazon has never issued guidance or communications to Delivery Service Partners that prohibits singing in the vehicle.”
All of these delivery drivers work for third parties, not Amazon directly. You can start your own Amazon delivery business and contact to driver for Amazon. Amazon is saying they didn't tell anybody not to move their lips. One of the third party companies or low level manager told people not to do it because it triggers the camera.
Amazon requires a camera system called a netradyne driveri in all vans - that's what they're referring to. It uses AI to monitor what you're doing and automatically send reports when it thinks you've done something wrong.
