Amazon announced this month that it has begun to roll out cameras inside its delivery vehicles that monitor both the road, and its drivers.
Road safety experts say Amazon’s driver monitoring should bring safety benefits for the company and everyone it shares roads with. At the same time, drivers are bracing themselves for what happens when cameras can scrutinize their every move, delivering feedback that could impact their livelihoods.
Amazon spokesperson Deborah Bass told CNN Business that drivers could not lose their jobs for a single mistake, but declined to detail how Amazon recommends the partner companies that make its deliveries handle feedback, coaching and discipline. Amazon has said video footage from the cameras will only be sent to it in certain circumstances, including hard braking, hard acceleration and U-turns.
