Amazon plans AI-powered cameras in delivery vans to improve safety

Amazon.com has revealed plans to install AI-powered video cameras in its branded delivery vans, in a move that the world’s largest e-commerce firm says would improve safety of both drivers and the communities in which they deliver.

Technology publication the Information reported earlier on Wednesday that the company’s plans were disclosed in an instructional video about the cameras.

Amazon said the cameras, developed by transportation technology company Netradyne, use artificial intelligence (AI) to provide warnings about speeding and distracted driving among other things.
