> The problem is that no human can actually be that attentive to such a system for hours on end day after day. Uber set an impossible task for these drivers. We shouldn't let them claim the existence of these drivers as legal protection from their own obvious negligence.
Did the driver got a driving license? What does that driving license tell him to do in a car? That is FAR more important than what you boss tell you, it's the freaking law.
It's like saying if you kill someone in your car after a long day of work, you aren't responsible because your boss gave you an impossible task to drive your car after such long hour. You are still freaking responsible of your driving. Can't do it? Then don't do it, it's that simple.
Put as much blame as you want on Uber, it doesn't change the fact that she drove that car and killed that person.
- kickopotomus 8y agoI think you are missing the point a little as that is not an apt comparison. The "driver" was not operating the vehicle. They were tasked with monitoring it's function to step in and take control if something went wrong but humans are notoriously bad at this exact task. Now I definitely believe the person is culpable here but it's also murky based on how Uber instructed them to operate the vehicle and how much they said you can trust the autonomous driving features.
