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.”

They're not actually monitoring that specific thing. They have a camera looking at the drivers and the recognition software happens to interpret singing as the driver being "distracted", but they don't actually want to modify the software so they are doubling down on what the software has decided.

This isn't right. Singing also counts as distracted.

Debatable.

Should car radio/stereos be illegal then?

I, for one, am in favor of volume limits. Too many times ambulances get stuck behind cars whose drivers simply cannot hear the siren.
