Rideshare apps Uber and Lyft are battling thousands of injury and sexual assault lawsuits. A must-pass transportation bill in Congress includes an industry-friendly carveout that would give the companies legal immunity from car crashes and injuries.

Why would any work towards making their tech better when you can just free yourself from the consequences of its mistakes.

    Do you want all your cars and offices burned to the ground? Do you want your CEO to be luigi’d?

    Because that is how that happens. It’s a bad decision to for the entirety of humanity (well, in the dictatorship called USA, that is) but it is also extremely dangerous and stupid for these companies and their CEOs. If they think they can pull this shit and not get into really deep shit themselves, then they’re mistaken

    Your car hits a child and then you just claim “fuck you I have immunity, there is nothing you can do!” right in gun nut country? Dude, that is a bad move.
