Comment on Amazon Bans Its Drivers From Moving Their Own Lips Too Much At Work
MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 2 weeks agoThey’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.
Kinda the same way my car tells me I’m not looking at the road if I tilt my head 2 inches to the side or back. Its constantly giving me warning, and I’m constantly yelling that I am looking at the road! How else could I go around this turn!
At least I have the option of covering it with black electrical tape. Jeeze.
As someone who wears glasses I have to turn my head to check my mirrors. I would get so frustrated with that.
This isn’t right. Singing also counts as distracted.
Debatable.
Should car radios 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.
Not necessarily, but there’s a difference between something being illegal and something being perceived by an insurance company as increasing risk. There are a lot of things that are legal and risky.
Insurance wanting employees monitored so they can deny coverage or excuse an increase in premiums is not much of “ok yeah that makes sense”.
