Amazon delivery drivers are expressing frustration over a recent software update to the company's electric delivery vehicles (EDVs) that automatically shuts off the air conditioning after 30 seconds if the driver is not in their seat. Drivers argue this update, implemented ahead of the summer heat, makes it difficult to keep the vans cool due to the frequent stops and short periods drivers spend inside. While Amazon claims the update is intended to conserve battery and extend climate control for up to 10 minutes when drivers return, drivers report the AC effectively becomes useless as it turns off before they can re-enter the vehicle.
