Amazon sued after monitoring software allegedly caused delivery van crash

In March 2021, an Amazon delivery van rear-ended a Tesla on Interstate 75 near Atlanta, causing a multi-vehicle crash that left a passenger with a traumatic brain injury and paralysis. The victim alleges that Amazon's Flex app and in-van AI cameras, which monitor drivers for speed and yawning, pressured the driver to speed, leading to the collision. Amazon denies liability, arguing the driver was employed by a contractor, but the lawsuit claims the company's software micromanages drivers and prioritizes speed over safety. The case, which seeks damages exceeding $2 million in medical bills, is pending.

Amsterdam court orders Uber and Ola to disclose robo-firing algorithms

The Amsterdam Court of Appeal ruled that Uber and Ola Cabs violated drivers' GDPR rights by using automated systems to dismiss workers without meaningful human intervention or transparency. The court found that Uber's fraud detection system profiled drivers and made erroneous fraud allegations, leading to account deactivations that the court deemed 'robo-firing'. Uber and Ola were ordered to provide drivers with information on how automated decision-making affects work allocation, pay, and dismissals, rejecting the companies' trade secret arguments. The ruling is a significant win for gig economy workers, though the UK government is advancing a bill that would strip similar protections.

Tesla Model 3 crash with truck kills driver using partial automation

At 6:17 a.m. on March 1, 2019, a Tesla Model 3 operating with partial driving automation struck a semitrailer in Delray Beach, Florida, killing the 50-year-old driver. The NTSB determined the probable cause was the truck driver's failure to yield right of way combined with the car driver's inattention due to overreliance on the automation, with Tesla's system design allowing disengagement as a contributing factor.
