Multiple outlets report that Amazon’s delivery drivers may soon wear smart glasses that take photographs “almost constantly” while on deliveries. Bloomberg is cited as saying a typical shift could generate several thousand images of people, vehicles, and private property that the driver sees.
The reports say the images would be uploaded for Amazon’s AI systems, raising new privacy concerns. CNET highlights the growing public debate around surveillance and data collection, while The Next Web focuses on limits for customers and residents, including the claim that there is no clear opt-out mechanism for customers. The outlets also note that customers may not be able to view the images or request deletion, based on how the program is described in the reporting.
Across coverage, the core details align: the glasses are part of an ongoing rollout, the camera capture is frequent during shifts, and the images involve sensitive contexts such as private property. However, outlets do not fully agree on additional specifics beyond what Bloomberg reports, such as the exact consent or visibility options for the public.
