If this is the case, then my employer is also responsible for actions I take while I'm on-call (with the important distinction that my on-call is not opt-in and is per the terms of my employment contract).<p>If I break the law and hack someone's wifi for internet access in case I need to log in and fix something, that's on me. Likewise, Uber didn't make this guy drive without regard for others safety (or even suggest it for increased availability), so he alone should see the consequences of his actions. I sincerely hope that the Uber X driver has criminal charges brought against him.
