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.”

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.

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".

With that logic our own cars are going start monitoring us and have us hand the data over to insurers so they can let you off the hook for the "privacy fee" or whatever as long as you then don't sing in your own car.

This isn't about risk. Its about humans not being allowed to be humans.

Oh I totally agree and yes we're already on that path.

The solution here is probably more like no cameras spying on your employees for every second of their shift. Give them a job and let them do it or not do it.
