Truck drivers Adam Dean and Christian Erickson allege that Motive Technologies' AI dashcams recorded license plates with time-stamped vehicle locations and collected drivers' biometric data without adequate notice or consent. Their proposed class action alleges privacy harms and violations of California's ALPR law. The allegations are unproven.
What this means for youIf your work vehicle has an AI dashcam, it may record more than the road, including your face and location. Ask your employer what the camera collects, how long it is kept, and whether you consented. Fleet owners can check these settings and notices.
