All of this is embedded into our mobile technology, called Relay, that connects carriers and drivers to Amazon, and provides them with navigation assistance, real-time driver-facing alerts, safety performance summaries, and additional safety learning. And outside of our fleet, we’ve invested heavily in our route planning navigation systems and predictive analytics software to better monitor fleet safety. Based on our full technology package, equipment manufacturers have indicated that Amazon is a pioneer in incorporating the most advanced safety features. Our trailers are outfitted with sensors to monitor lights, anti-lock braking systems, cargo and door sensors, and more.
Since 2017, Amazon tractors have also been equipped with driver-facing cameras that can help identify unsafe behaviors, like distracted driving, so drivers can be coached to prevent those behaviors from happening again. We’ve equipped our middle mile trucking network, which is responsible for shipping packages to and from our operations sites before they’re dispatched for last mile delivery to customers, with leading safety technology, including automatic emergency braking, front-collision warning, stability control, lane-departure warning, side-object detection, adaptive cruise control, and speed limiters.
And in many cases, these innovations are better for the environment, too.Īs we follow through on our ongoing commitment to safety, here are some of the tech-based safety and sustainability solutions we’re continuing to invest in this year: It’s our belief that the technology we create, along with innovations spearheaded by our industry partners, can raise the bar on safety and reduce crash frequency and severity. The examples below are each part of a $200 million investment in new safety technology, and part of our continuing work to ensure Amazon vehicles and our delivery partners are safe on the road. Department of Transportation’s National Roadway Safety Strategy (NRSS). Amazon has helped lead the way in investments and innovations, and I’m proud to share some highlights of how Amazon is already working toward the goals outlined in the U.S. As we work to deliver for our customers, we continue to innovate and advance safety features in the trucks and vans we deploy, keeping the safety of our partners and communities where we deliver as our top priority.Ī challenge as complex as roadway safety requires strong leadership across both the public and private sectors. Safety is integral to everything we do across our operations at Amazon-every day, in every country, and especially on the road.
