Amazon delivery drivers say the job has changed a lot with new electric Rivian vans and updated routing software

He said one of his favorite features is a light bar "that goes all the way around the back." He also likes that the windshield is "absolutely massive," the wide doors allow for easy entry and exit, and the cargo door automatically opens when the van is parked. There are two rows of shelves that fold up and down in the cargo area.

"We did a lot of deliveries as a test," Le said. "As a woman, I want to make sure that the seats are comfortable for me and that my legs can reach the pedals, I can see over the steering wheel.""When we start to notice that you're slowing down, that means that we can tell you're getting near to your destination," she said. "The map begins to zoom in, so you begin to find where's your delivery location, which building and where parking could be.

, at least 10 of which were fatal. Amazon put cameras and sensors all over the Rivian vans, which enable warnings and lane assist technology that autocorrects if the vehicle veers out of the lane. Amazon vans have driver-facing cameras inside, which can catch unsafe driving practices as they happen. That level of constant surveillance may be unsettling for some drivers. Dennis said that issues haven't come up among her staffers. And Amazon stresses it's focused on driver privacy.

"People are running through stop signs, running through yellow lights," said Adrienne Williams, a former DSP driver. "Everybody I knew was buckling their seat belt behind their backs because the time it took just to buckle your seat belt, unbuckle your seat belt every time was enough time to get you behind schedule."

amazon should consider the Tesla Semi 👍

Yeah sure

Good for $RIVN $AMZN

My uncle Carl crapped in an empty box when he was in Arizona. He couldn’t get the bathroom door open.

So many large companies committing blatant fraud these days people. Just look at SBJ. Clown should be under a jail. But he's walking free. Watch where you put your money and who you take your facts from. Imo cnbc shouldn't even be speaking of riv after the massive fraud that occ

The probably don't like them at all. Rivian is one of the worst companies of this decade who's ceo, RJ, needs a brief stint for fraud of investors like myself

All we need is enough lithium and electricity.

Good luck with that. Waited almost 2 years for my preorder Rivian and finally canceled.

Already in use in the neighborhood!

They order thousands of natural gas semis as well seen the shipping them out of north Bergen NJ

With all the Amazon firings, are there any drivers for these things?

Boycott Tesla

Ask them how much of that revenue actuallly equates to profits. The DSP program is a massive liability shield for Amazon and the the margins are pennies compared to what’s advertised. Amazon alone determines if, when, and how they scale and every aspect of a drivers daily mvmt.

But at least sometimes they are driving electric vehicles while peeing in bottles.

NY State Assembly member David DiPietro Assembly District 147 - ALL NY State residents WILL be FORCED to get rid of their Gas appliances, includes gas generators. NY Gov. Hochul is being held hostage by NYC. about 70% of NYC Residents are on some form of Government assistance.

It doesn't eliminate the fact CA forced people to limit to when they can charge their vehicles last summer. We do not have the infrastructure. About 11 people died due to no power, and several other's with severe frost bite having no power in Buffalo Blizzard.

Just think the people voted these men into office. Why spend all kinds of time complaining? it's the fault of the voters who elected them.

This is hysterical. The routing is worse now than it's ever been.

So CNBC says Amazon drivers are happy ? LMFAO

BULLSHIT ! and $AMZN is going to pay the price come earnings for that horrible investment 🔥🔥🔥🤣👍

Happier? Easier? Good., now you get 20 more deliveries a day

just having AC makes all the difference
