How the fuck was <a car>, a piece of <machinery>, supposed to know if this <driver> was <attentive> or <distracted>? It doesn’t. It’s a piece of <machinery>. This driver needed <better driver’s ed>.

Protip, Sparky: nobody is blaming “the software”. They’re blaming the people who unleashed the software on an unsuspecting public without running proper trials of what its impact could be.

Who value “engagement” stats (read: addiction) over mitigating the harm their product visibly causes.
