A must-pass congressional funding package for the nation’s roads, bridges, and public infrastructure includes an industry-friendly carveout that would give ride-hailing apps like Uber and Lyft legal immunity from car crashes and injuries, according to a review of the bill text by The Lever.
Yeah, I checked this post from incognito/lemmy.world and I saw more comments, including one replying to me that our federation might be broken, which makes sense.
Here is the full story. She falsely claimed it was a medical emergency, She took a long time to get into the Uber car on purpose. When she finally did get into the Uber car she was rude and condescending to him the whole journey then right at the end she cancelled her Uber car ride so he wouldn't get paid.
At this point she pulled out her camera and started recording and playing dumb, all in an attempt to get him to hit her so she could sue. This was an attempt at fraud aimed at the guy.
Not that I'm a fan of uber or anything they do, but the article says it's essentially prevention from liability if your Uber driver crashes. Uber drivers are required to have their own insurance and stuff. Why should Uber get sued and not the driver if they cause a wreck and you get hurt? Uber didn't cause it.
Entrepreneur or private contractor or whatever the case. If the person driving is required to have insurance for being an Uber (they are) and the person driving causes the wreck, then Uber didn't do anything to get sued over. The driver did. The only ones that should be sued are the driver and their insurance.

That used to happen to me on SDF.org before their server took a long nap. Perhaps your home instance is having federation issues?

Ah, so it's not just me! I thought it was strange that there were no/few comments on any posts!

I was about to comment that there’s no reason to hit someone.
But then I watched the video.
I hope he caused brain damage.

Because they're basically employees for Uber, but are touted as "entrepreneurs".
You really sound like a piece of shit

Legally sp3aking, you are incorrect. Uber is responsible.
