b'We take a hard look at Netradyne, the latest piece of shitty surveillance tech already forced on Amazon delivery drivers\\u2014and perhaps coming soon to your car. First we look at Lauren Kaori Gurley\\u2019s reporting on how these AI cameras are extremely error prone\\u2014but weirdly never in ways that benefit, rather than punish, workers\\u2014and then take a deeper dive into how Netradyne is pitching its product to insurance companies.\\n\\nSome stuff we reference:\\n\\u2022 Amazon Delivery Drivers Forced to Sign \\u2018Biometric Consent\\u2019 Form or Lose Job | Lauren Kaori Gurley https://www.vice.com/en/article/dy8n3j/amazon-delivery-drivers-forced-to-sign-biometric-consent-form-or-lose-job \\n\\u2022 Amazon\\u2019s AI Cameras Are Punishing Drivers for Mistakes They Didn\\u2019t Make | Lauren Kaori Gurley https://www.vice.com/en/article/88npjv/amazons-ai-cameras-are-punishing-drivers-for-mistakes-they-didnt-make \\n\\u2022 How Insurers Are Adopting Transportation Safety Technology | Netradyne https://www.netradyne.com/how-insurers-are-adopting-transportation-safety-technology/ \\n\\nSubscribe to hear more analysis and commentary in our premium episodes every week! patreon.com/thismachinekills \\n\\nGrab your TMK gear: bonfire.com/store/this-machine-kills-podcast/ \\n\\nHosted by Jathan Sadowski (twitter.com/jathansadowski) and Edward Ongweso Jr. (twitter.com/bigblackjacobin).
