USPS is testing road-scanning cameras in 100 delivery vehicles in the Washington, D.C., area

The U.S. Postal Service is running a limited pilot that equips 100 delivery vehicles in the Washington, D.C., area with forward-facing Nextbase cameras. 404 Media reported that the cameras are installed inside the vehicles and begin recording once a vehicle is in drive and away from the postal facility. USPS told 404 Media the program is meant to assess whether vehicle-mounted cameras can help identify roadway conditions and support community safety, and said the test includes privacy safeguards. 404 Media also reported that while Nextbase markets its cameras as capable of capturing license plates clearly, the USPS pilot does not use automatic license plate reader software.
