☆ How the job of Amazon delivery has changed with Rivian's electric vans and routing software
  + stars: | 2023-01-14 | by ( Katie Tarasov | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +10 min
For now, most Amazon drivers are still in about 110,000 gas-powered vans — primarily Ford Transits, Mercedes-Benz Sprinters and Ram ProMasters. Amazon wouldn't share how it determines which of its 3,500 third-party delivery firms, or delivery service partners (DSPs), are receiving Rivian vans first. Workers load packages into Amazon Rivian Electric trucks at an Amazon facility in Poway, California, November 16, 2022. Amazon vans have driver-facing cameras inside, which can catch unsafe driving practices as they happen. For example, an Amazon driver in Missouri was found dead in a front yard in October, allegedly after a dog attack.

☆ America's cars and trucks are getting bigger, and so are their front blind zones. Children are paying the price.

Front cameras could help prevent these deaths, safety experts say. On Monday, he announced legislation that would make front blind zone safety features mandatory for motor vehicles. After Congress passed a law to improve rear blind zone safety nearly 15 years ago, it took a decade — rulemaking, regulatory delays and a multiyear rollout — before it fully went into effect. Blumenthal’s bill directs regulators to determine what technology, such as cameras or sensors, to require to make front blind zones safer, much like the rear blind zone law did. But she believes the best way to prevent future tragedies is widespread use of blind zone cameras.

☆ I'm an Amazon delivery driver. Our performance is constantly monitored, but we've found ways to cheat the system.
  + stars: | 2021-04-06 | by ( Jenny Powers | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +9 min
Insider spoke to an Amazon delivery driver who asked to remain anonymous to protect his job. I started working part time as a driver for Amazon in 2019 after seeing an online classified ad. Amazon preaches safety, safety, safety, and while that's a great narrative for the media, behind the scenes it's another story. I've never been in a wreck, but these types of instances can drag a driver's score down, and the bottom line is everything comes down to your score. Amazon prides itself on getting driver safety under control, but then puts demands in place that force us to circumvent the system.

Future insurance will look much different thanks to Internet of Things, which will touch home insurance, life insurance, auto insurance, and health insurance.
