That's not my only claim. The additional gotcha is that the supposedly responsible human being is remote from the incident, and the regulators may find it more difficult to determine responsibility and assign liability to someone somewhere inside some very large company with a lot of network connectivity and an equal helping of plausible deniability. Compare that with a human at the wheel who hopefully carries a driver's license and proof of insurance?

Anyway, a "rich, large, well-known" company is always going to calculate the cost of a human life taken, vs. the cost of doing business, and run the margin right up to a rounding error. I don't doubt that their actuaries are just as good as GEICO's.

Lest we forget - corporations are people.
