AI cameras in Amazon trucks deny bonuses

#artificialintelligence

In brief AI cameras inside Amazon's delivery trucks are denying drivers' bonus pay for errors they shouldn't be blamed for, it's reported. The e-commerce giant installed the equipment in its vehicles earlier this year. The devices watch the road and the driver, and send out audio alerts if they don't like the way their humans are driving. One man in Los Angeles told Vice that when he gets cut off by other cars, the machine would sense the other vehicle suddenly right in front of him, and squawk: "Maintain safe distance!" Logs of the audio alerts and camera footage are relayed back to Amazon, and it automatically decides whether drivers deserve to get bonuses or not from their performance on the road.
