Did you read the article? She was allegedly doing her job, looking at her work phone from time to time. Her personal phone playing a Hulu show was in the passenger seat (which she apparently was listening to).
> When Vasquez was looking at that phone for several seconds at a time, the defense writes, she was monitoring the company Slack, “doing her job.” Her personal phone, on the other hand, was significantly farther away, on the passenger seat. This differs from what Vasquez told the NTSB, but her attorneys argue the video is clear, and exculpatory: After the crash, the dashcam shows her reaching over to the passenger side to grab her personal phone and call 911.
- bpodgursky 4y agoI don't see why this is exculpatory at all — she was not supposed to be reading Slack messages, she was supposed to be watching the road, per the law. Uber did not give her permission to break the law when convenient.
- sushid 4y agoWhere did I claim that? I only corrected your statement about her watching a video while driving.
- bpodgursky 4y agoIt's in the quote you pasted.
