Videos from within Amazon delivery vans are leaking online, with several examples of such a video shared on the Reddit page r\/AmazonDSPDrivers<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Amazon’s in-van artificial intelligence AI cameras track driver movements and surround them in a green box while recording audio.<\/p>\n

One such video<\/a><\/strong> shared on Reddit is a recording taken off a computer monitor using a smartphone, and according to Vice<\/a><\/strong>, the desk set-up appears to be consistent with Amazon delivery service partners (DSPs).<\/p>\n

DSPs usually operate from Amazon warehouses, working from a desk like the one in the video. They select routes, dispatch drivers, and monitor their actions on the roads.<\/p>\n

The video starts with the driver opening their door and being greeted by a French bulldog that leaps onto their lap.<\/p>\n

“You seeing this, Joey?” someone says off-camera. “Little visitor.”<\/p>\n

“Is that a dog?” Joey responds.<\/p>\n

“Yeah, just jumped right in,” the first voice says.<\/p>\n

Many videos posted on Reddit aren’t being shared by the videos’ subjects themselves.<\/p>\n

The videos illustrate that Amazon’s delivery drivers are monitored at all times.<\/p>\n

Some Reddit users voiced their concerns over the constant monitoring.<\/p>\n

“They already have enough surveillance devices on us. With a camera it’s just over-supervising, and invasive use of technology,” one user wrote.<\/p>\n

“They tested us for 35 days on our ability to drive their vehicle, perform and qualify for our job. They can trust us without a camera in our faces.”<\/p>\n

It would be interesting to see what the sentiment towards this technology would be in a market like South Africa, where criminals frequently target delivery vans and drivers.<\/p>\n
