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.
