Doesn’t matter. If there’s a law about getting out of the way, offering maximum space and choices to emergency vehicles, and you didn’t do that, you failed and you broke the law.
One can definitely bicker about the details, but it doesn’t change anything about the fact that the vehicle failed to obey the law.
- bee_rider 3y agoThe fact that there was traffic flowing to the right seems to indicate that the scenario was such that people weren’t stopping and pulling over.

Then we can talk about whether the vehicle operator failed to obey the law, but I think we're talking about something far more serious, which is whether Cruise indirectly killed a man. In determining whether Cruise has moral responsibility over this death, it is then natural for citizens to look over the video footage and ask what's going on.
- Waterluvian 3y agoYeah, not going to argue the lightning rod of a headline even if it was careful not to actually say “Cruise killed a man.”
