I'm going to wager this was implemented to keep drivers from talking on the phone all day and because it's using machine vision it doesn't know the difference.

Exactly what I was thinking. I wish I was an extrovert. I enjoy the occasional phone call but mostly I just wish I could hang up, even with friends.

My main USPS worker talks on the phone at all times. I see her every weekend and she is NEVER not excitedly or angrily talking on her earbuds. I bet it makes work a lot better for her but holy shit who can just talk on the phone literally all day long.

Slight clarification to the headline: it's not the employee's cars they can't sing in, it's Amazon's.

Not that it makes it better, but my first thought was, "how would they know...?"

Does your employer reallly have the right to fire you because you sing in his car ? Is it legal in the US ?

This reminds me of that scene in the matrix.
