Amazon driver shares viral TikTok of the company's AI system that tracks her movements

• An Amazon delivery driver posted a TikTok describing how the company's AI-powered cameras work.

• She said the cameras flag drivers for sipping coffee or not buckling their seatbelt enough times.

• An Amazon spokesperson said the system has helped increase driver safety.

An Amazon driver took to social media to explain how the company's AI camera system can be used to flag delivery drivers for doing anything from taking a sip of coffee to failing to buckle their seatbelt enough times.

The TikTokker known as @ambergirts posted a video on Saturday breaking down how the tracking system works. Over the past two days, the video has garnered over 400,000 views.

In the TikTok, the Amazon driver explains how the four cameras on the Amazon delivery van monitor her driving, including one forward-facing camera, two cameras on the sides of the vehicle, and one in-cabin camera that faces the driver. She said that the camera that faces forward will monitor her following distance behind other cars, how well she responds to stop signs, as well as her speed. She said that if she fails to fully stop for a stop light, follows a car too closely, or goes more than six miles per hour faster than the speed limit she can be "dinged" with a violation.

Meanwhile, she said the in-cabin camera tracks her movement in the driver's seat.

"That camera is watching me while I drive so I cannot do a lot," she said in the video. "If I want a sip of my coffee, I have to pull over so that I can grab it and drink it because if I do it while I'm driving than that's a driver distracted, which is also a violation. I can't touch the center console or else that is a driver distracted violation."

An Amazon spokesperson told Insider that drivers are encouraged to stay hydrated on the job and can turn the cameras off during breaks. The spokesperson confirmed that the cameras are not used as a live feed.

The TikTokker said that one driver got a driver distracted violation for itching his beard while he was driving, which the tracking system interpreted as the driver holding a phone to his face. Though, she said the driver disputed the violation.

The Amazon driver said that the vehicle also monitors how often she buckles her seatbelt and if she doesn't buckle it enough she could face a "seatbelt violation." While the camera tracks movement, the driver said it doesn't have an audio option, which she described as a "nice" feature.
