    Amazon’s AI Cams Punish Drivers for 'Mistakes' (Report)

    Delivery drivers in Los Angeles have blamed AI surveillance cameras for penalizing them for other vehicles' mistakes on the road - resulting in lost income.

    "Maintain safe distance," the AI tech system would warn, a driver told Motherboard complaining it would lower his performance rating when other cars cut him up.

    “Every time I need to make a right hand turn, it inevitably happens. A car cuts me off to move into my lane, and the camera, in this really dystopian dark, robotic voice, shouts at me."

    The outlet spoke to drivers across multiple US states confronted by similar problems, including cameras punishing them for 'looking at the side mirror, fiddling with the radio or stopping ahead of a blind intersection.'

    Has Amazon created dystopian road rage?

    Does it also report them to their company?

    I have a 70mai Pro Plus. I recently used it during a road trip and had
    turned on the AI. It kept warning me to watch the car ahead so much,
    always when I had just been cut off on the Interstate, that I had to turn
    the AI off. I forget now exactly why I had turned it on to begin with, but
    it was very annoying on the Interstate.

    Mine does not do that, thank goodness.
