Legit question: Let's say that we'd do what you suggest and we'd allow them to drive, unsupervised, random people back and forth.
Let's say that something bad happens and they assault a client or whatever.
Client finds out they have priors. Asks you if you think you made a wise choise, or if you'd change something in your hiring process.
What would your answer be?
- DannyBee 10y agoSure. My answer depends on data that shows that this rate of assault/etc is likely higher for these people, and how much higher. Without that data, i can't really say anything at all. Every piece of research i've ever seen basically says "intuition is wrong here, they don't actually assault people at a higher rate". IE people who repeatedly are arrested for dealing drugs are not likely to have a higher rate of assaulting people while driving ubers. But, again, i'm data driven on this, if we have data/research, and the scientific consensus is that they are worse, and significantly worse, than yeah, maybe it's worth doing something. From what i know, most of this is driven by gut feelings and politics, and not actual data.
- rantanplan 10y agoFair answer. And another one a bit more provocative :D You alleged above that your parent commenter would think differently if the driver was a friend of theirs. If the passenger/client was a friend of yours and you knew the driver had priors, would you advise them against getting into the car or not?
