He&amp;#x27;s also an asshole, which also means certain jurors will be biased against him. Also he killed someone, even if out of negligence rather than spite. This doesn&amp;#x27;t seem like a giant miscarriage of justice.</text></comment>

If Tesla and Uber are following the laws regarding testing then they probably wouldn&amp;#x27;t be held liable.&lt;p&gt;I do think there&amp;#x27;s a huge double standard where companies get treated better than individuals, but I also think that this guy ignored enough regulations regarding construction that he should definitely be held liable for this death.</text></comment>
