Amazon plans to install always-on surveillance systems in its delivery vehicles which will monitor and record drivers’ behavior as well as what’s going on around the vehicle.
The system is called Driveri – pronounced “driver eye” – made by Californian company Netradyne. It uses artificial intelligence to analyze camera and sensor data and flag potentially dangerous situations. Amazon’s stated goals are to reduce collisions and encourage safer driver behavior when making deliveries.
Driveri uses four high-definition cameras and artificial intelligence to flag problems while driving, uploading its footage to Amazon’s servers for a safety team at the company to review. A driver can also manually upload footage at the press of a button in case of a dangerous situation or possible dispute, such as an inaccessible delivery location or prove that an incident wasn’t the driver’s fault.
