Uber:

- recklessly rolls out dangerous tech to try to surpass a rival
- holds a regulatory race to the bottom for states willing to let them test it
- treats its workers as disposable
But when the tech fails and someone dies, the worker takes the fall. https://t.co/wzFmdyz5P0
Arizona prosecutors have charged an Uber backup driver with negligent homicide in the first autonomous vehicle fatality. Rafaela Vasquez has pleaded not guilty in the 2018 crash in Tempe that killed 49-year-old Elaine Herzberg. https://t.co/wSmAN4tvOn

I can't remember when I first read the concept of safety drivers as "moral crumple zones" but this really demonstrates it perfectly. Vasquez's job wasn't really to supervise the car; it was to be assigned blame if the car failed. As she has been. https://t.co/eLxshhffkG

The National Transportation Safety Board found that the backup driver's failure to monitor the road as she watched the show “The Voice” on her phone was the main cause of the crash.
