Amazon Delivery Drivers Face Dangerous Heat as Software Update Disables AC
Key Takeaways
- Amazon's Rivian EDVs received a software update that turns off AC after 30 seconds if the driver is out of the seat with the door open.
- Drivers complain the update makes AC ineffective during frequent stops, creating dangerous heat conditions.
- Amazon claims the update extends climate control to 10 minutes after exit, but AC shuts off if door is open over 30 seconds.
- Older delivery trucks often lack AC, but the update undermines the AC feature in newer electric vans.
