Amazon plans to equip delivery drivers with smart glasses that capture photos of anything in view during shifts, including people and private property.

Glasses will generate several thousand captures per shift. Bloomberg reports the devices could take several thousand captures in a single driver’s typical shift. Amazon intends to upload those images to its AI Wellspring platform.
There will reportedly be no way for customers to view images Amazon holds of them or their property or to request deletion.

The photos will match the quality of the quick pictures drivers already snap at package drop-off.

Amazon has not addressed customer opt-out options. When asked if customers could opt out, Amazon’s Viraj Chatterjee told Bloomberg, “We haven’t thought about that.” Chatterjee stated the data will only enhance the delivery process and added that the intent has never been surveillance.
