Are you paid by the hour or per delivery? If by hour, malicious compliance. Stay 5mph below speed limit because you don't want to be flagged. AI doesn't recognize the street as such? Take a long detour, it didn't allow me to take that route. It complains about overtaking? Never overtake ever again someone was to close to the truck when you tried to back in? Never back in again unless the premises is completely clear of people. Oh and find a better employer. An employer that doesn't trusts its employees is never worth it.

Try to find the fuse which powers the device.

You're looking for anything related to radio or telemetry.

Push the fuse back in when you're done working for the day.

If they ask what was wrong, pretend you don't know what they mean. It's not your truck. Maybe they should have their technician look into it, everything seemed fine on your end.

Could try a wifi cell jammer. Ai don't do shit without internet

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 days ago (1 children)

better to find the antenna and short it out. jammers are at best illegal and at worst you end up leaving it on and fuck up someone's 911 call.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

Probably true, couldn't think of another solution that doesn't damage the vehicle

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 days ago

That's going to be incredibly illegal to use outdoors. Make sure you know what the regulations are before engaging in any kind of jamming, you might block someone else's emergency transmissions.

This is the reason Unions exist.

Individually you have no power. As a group you do have power to force them to revoke these decisions.

Your choice is joining a Union or not.

Ok, but what can OP do now? I support joining a union. But if there is none, then forming one takes time.

Is there anything that OP can do now? Quit, maybe?

Pretty much it. Unless there's an infringement of labor law. I don't know where they work or much about other countries labor laws.

They would probably need to hire a lawyer in this case. Unions usually also help in these cases.

Line up a new job. Then get in the passenger side of the truck and let the AI drive today.

Then enjoy your new job knowing you made the world a better place.

You seem kinda despairing and dismissive of the obvious answer... talking to your union.

You have no power over your employer, but your union does.

Additionally, and this is kinda wild but, have you spoken to your supervisor? What did they say? Did you explain what it is about it that's so annoying?

I've worked as a consultant for companies that use this type of thing and most disable the verbal warnings and stuff because they're not helpful in any way.

Not all of us have Unions..... Just saying

Yeah, talk to your union about this.

[–] [email protected] 80 points 3 days ago (4 children)

Whats wrong with joining a union? Some 50 yrs ago, over 80% of factory workers were unionized, today its more like 30% iirc. Its not because unions dont work, its because they do and companies spend copius anounts to get them discredited.

JOIN A UNION.
