Ignore race. Should amazon drivers be fired for not peeing in jugs, aka using a public restroom, to follow AI planned routes? What about Pepsi drivers taking unsanctioned 5 min breaks because they have a pounding headache? How about having all your activities monitored as you cross the street so ads target your cellphone with low quality food to increase revenue but leading to worse health and inevitably keeping your poor? Should land lords be allowed to catch people spitting in the hallway, sure, but there's a lot more real problems associated with this kind of technology that has and will continue to increase wealth inequality. If you really think about it... It's almost the perfect tool for it.

Technology will continue to evolve, society has and can continue to put in place barriers for specific applications of technology. The same tech used for the Pepsi driver's "unsanctioned break" is also the same tech that provides for their federally-mandated rest periods.
