- LTheobald 12y agoYeah, I saw that and just thought hell no. I'm partially sighted & there's no a chance I'd let someone guide me across a road via video chat on a 3G connection. I'd go as far as saying that's quite an irresponsible use to suggest on your home page.
- johlindenbaum 12y agoIt wouldn't be any different than the passenger in your car telling you, like "clear right". Any resulting accident is still the driver's fault afaik.
- masukomi 12y agothere isn't network delay when your passenger tells you its "clear right"
- saalaa 12y agoI think it's much different from a legal standpoint. First and foremost, the driver is assumed to be fully valid and thus in no need of a blind trust (no pun intended).
- tlrobinson 12y agoI have heard that if you were to, say, wave someone through at a stop sign and they got in an accident you could be held liable.
