So, Bezos thinks side mirrors are evil, huh? And drivers are able to use telepathy to control drivers that cut them off. That is a real trick. The real issue here is the salary the drivers are bringing home. This is a ROBBING TECHNIQUE to bring monies back to Amazon. Every driver, past and present, at Amazon (even if they are no longer employed there), MUST have all their "Amazon Deductions" returned to them WITH THE PREVAILING INTEREST RATE.
Besides being very dangerous for Amazon drivers and the public using the roads, this is harassment of employees doing a vital job. IT IS AN UNFAIR LABOR PRACTICE. If it isn't for delivery drivers the USA would have shut down entirely (which might have been better, ie: New Zealand) during the pandemic.
I don't care if Amazon is stating this so-called technique results in few accidents. That is a lie. The drivers probably use their side vision a lot without activating the cameras. There is no way a person driving down a road isn't using their side mirrors. NOT USING SIDE MIRRORS RESULTS IN CUTTING OFF OTHER DRIVERS.
Does anyone think car manufacturers put mirrors on the car for decoration? They don't. There are real reasons for all the safety features of a vehicle. I am not saying every driver on the road uses side mirrors, but, they are there for a reason. What Amazon is looking at is the "idea" that facing forward prevents rear-end accidents.
OSHA also needs to investigate whether the driver can see out a rear view mirror. While OSHA is at it, inspect the warehouses and loading platforms, as well as mental health policies and how often they are invoked and insurance, is necessary to treat the diagnosis.
Amazon is highly guilty of unfair labor practices and preventing the ability of a union to represent its employees. This is one of the reasons why Amazon stood in the way of the union vote. They target employees as part of their profit structure.

Amazon (click here) drivers say they are being punished for some driving habits that are considered safe and others that are beyond their control, Motherboard reported.
Drivers told Motherboard that the AI-powered cameras in Amazon's delivery vans unfairly penalized them for things such as looking at side mirrors, adjusting the radio, and even getting cut off in traffic by someone else.
"It's upsetting, when I didn't do anything," a Los Angeles delivery driver told Motherboard. "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."...
