Yeah I mean this definition of accomplice very clearly doesn't follow or bear any resemblance to the legal definition. Likewise, rental car companies are not "accomplices" to your speeding even though they could put speed limiters in the vehicles they rent out. It would also plainly be suboptimal for rental car companies to nag everyone about following the speed limit. It's not their proper role and it's not like anyone is unaware of how speed limits work.
- treis 5y agoRental companies do not collect travel data from their customers. Bird does and Bird can trivially identify customers riding illegally and/or dangerously. They know, or should know, that they're renting scooters to people who put the public at risk. You can't just "see no evil" your way out of that liability.

You are incorrect in your claim that rental car companies do not track travel data. Many rental car companies do indeed have GPS trackers in some their cars. Despite this they bear no liability for the criminal behaviors of their customers, nor should they. 3. I am not sure if you mean your last statement to be normative or declarative. If the latter, you are wrong. Scooter rental companies in fact have no legal obligation to enforce traffic laws, thank goodness.
