The driver was responsible for the car, and carries most of the responsibility for this accident. There may be grounds for a civil, or even criminal, action against Uber on the basis of creating a dangerous situation, but that would be a bad executive decision, not a programming error.
- FireBeyond 8y agoWhat about Uber's policy, which used to have a human passenger recording events and anomalies into a device for later review? I say "used to", because they axed that for cost reasons, deciding they could have the driver do that. While driving. Or at least being ostensibly able to drive at a fraction of a second's notice...
- mannykannot 8y agoI am no fan of Uber, and I agree that eliminating the recorder was an irresponsible move, but as the driver was not distracted by these responsibilities at the time, they did not have any role in the accident. In the court of human opinion, the cost-cutting is evidence of Uber not taking safety as seriously as it should have, but I do not know if it would be allowed as evidence in a court of law.
