>Why is it important that we [[know this]] ? Because we are supposed to believe that the life of a homeless has somehow less value than any other human life and/or that probably (because she was homeless) she was a bit nuts and acted recklessly or however without the same attention/carefulness that is proper for non-homeless (please read as "normal") people. It is easy to see the "hey, but she unlawfully and suddenly crossed the road at a location other than a marked crosswalk" sort of defense by Uber (besides putting the blame on Vasquez). BTW, it doesn't seem to exist "full" evidence Vasquez was actually watching the streaming, I mean, maybe (just maybe) she was just listening to it, like anyone would listen to the radio or a playing MP3 while driving. The first thing I would make compulsory would be a sort of heads-up display, so that there couldn't be any possible reason why a driver would actually look down for 5 seconds.
