No, it isn't. If it was just for liability, they wouldn't have to care what the driver did until someone filed an accident report or other complaint.

This is about crappy software that COULD be improved, but it is cheaper to threaten thousands of people with punishment for singing than it is to pay programmers to refine their 'distracted'-pattern recognition.

During the orientation they said we aren’t allowed to reach out to grab water or any snacks while driving, no touching the screen or dashboard to make any changes. Drive and only drive with 2 hands on the steering wheel.

My DSP (Delivery Service Partner) didn’t care to enforce that. Most of them would have AirPods in and talk on the phone all the time. So we weren’t flagged for talking or singing. But having those rules itself is terrible. It was just my temporary job and I hated how those employees are treated.
