Amazon reportedly working on Echo Frames for delivery drivers

This brings to mind a recent thought I had - our senses and intuition continue to be abstracted and delegated. It is especially humiliating when this delegation, which we must obey, is derived from data which we are unable to comprehend or perceive.<p>The medium is the message

&gt; The aim is to give drivers turn-by-turn directions, thereby shaving seconds off of each delivery.<p>Manna coming to life (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;marshallbrain.com&#x2F;manna" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;marshallbrain.com&#x2F;manna</a>)

&gt; The goal is to “shave seconds” off delivery times by giving drivers turn-by-turn directions.<p>I&#x27;m sure the primary goal is to help train an autonomous agent to deliver packages in their stead.

One other benefit would be for the confirmation images that drivers take of a delivery. Rather than schlepping out a phone, they just tap their glasses as they put a package down. Much less hassle and I think would shave time.

Wouldn&#x27;t it be better to optimize the directions so their drivers make fewer left turns? UPS did that a couple of decades ago.

Conspiracy theorist in me says the large amount of video data will be sent back to train their AI on including facial recognition.
