I deliver for Amazon Flex. Although I don't appreciate having my name and face put out there, the real problem I have with this is showing people exactly where I'm at on a map. Like yes, the person with dozens of packages in their car is right here if you want to go rob them or try to take something while we are at a house or in a store or something. Makes you feel like a loot piñata.
Also, it says X stops away, but we are contractors, so we can leave the route for whatever reason we deem necessary. Eat lunch, pick up kid, whatever. So I feel it puts an unreasonable expectation that "my package will definitely be here in Y minutes"
Just my 2 cents anyways.
All Amazon drivers are contracted, check out Amazon DSP. We also use the Flex app. Your location, even as a Flex driver, is on a delay. Unless you are having to take 10+ minutes at a stop, it will never reveal your current location. Even my DSP couldn’t get my exact location until I had been stationary for some time.
