You’re not supposed to do nothing. You’re supposed to watch the road and ensure the safety of yourself, the car and the other road users. I’m not saying it is realistic to expect the driver to be attentive the whole trip, but watching a video on a phone is just gross negligence. Watching something while doing nothing is a job that has been around for a long time. If you’re employed to do that job, you cannot watch a video on your phone, especially when a failure kills someone. The whole reason you’re hired to watch a thing is to prevent that from happening. Comparing it to the lifeguards discussions above: you wouldn’t allow phone usages as a lifeguard either.
