> The reporting doesn't mention it, because it doesn't fit the narrative, but does anyone want to guess how many human drivers got suddenly stuck in the flood?

This is the important point here. Human beings are highly apologetic towards other human beings, but not so much towards machines. At the same time, the expectation towards machines is much higher.

Tells you more about humans than machines.

Comparing individual drivers to a taxi company is disingenuous and silly.

"How many taxi drivers got stuck?" is the actual comparison.

This is a paid taxi service. If I got an uncooked meal from a restaurant and their defense was that more people accidentally don't cook their food long enough than we do I don't think I'd be accommodating.

  • "How many taxi drivers got stuck?" is the actual comparison."

    I would bet a lot of money the number here is also >1.
