The article says that the PD is looking in to whether "autopilot" was engaged. So my money is on everyone:
A) The lady who rented a car without a license
B) The guy who owned the car but didn't check for a license
C) Getaround for not doing anything, it seems like
D) Tesla, for beta testing in public
E) The state of California for not shutting this poo poo down at points B or D

I want to say E because like how the gently caress do you allow Getaround to even exist as a car rental thing if it's possible to, through them, book a car to drive when you don't even have a license. :wtc: But also B like, how are you gonna put your car in the hands of something like that?

Yup. Many states have a separate tipped minimum wage that is as low as $2.13 an hour. Employers can make up the difference between that and the federal minimum wage out of the employee's tips, only paying out more than the tipped minimum if the employee doesn't make enough in tips to put them above the federal minimum.

I always tip 0.00 to Doordashers not because I am a dick, but because then in reality doordash is paying them a wage instead of me paying doordash a second delivery fee.

As someone who worked for tips before, it's a super dick move to not tip because of how the system is set up but the entire system is loving disgusting and i really wish that you didn't need to tip to ensure the servers/delivery people got a livable wage.

people who don't tip are often using fake political conviction to be a cheapass, whether you're a christian evangelical who says "the only tip you need is Salvation through Jesus Christ" or some faux friend of the prole who says "i don't believe in supporting the system which suppresses your wages"

if you don't feel like tipping food delivery workers, don't get food delivered

i remember in middle school finding out how the wage/tip thing worked and being floored. i had assumed tips were an expected bonus because servers had to deal with people.

does grubhub work like doordash? at least at the local places i've ordered from the delivery guy worked at the restaurant but i'm guessing that isn't always the case.

Jumpjet, melta, jumpjet. Repeat for ten minutes or until victory is assured.
I generally tip somewhat generously because that's the system we have, but it would be better if people just had good wages instead and tipping culture went away. Tipping means nice people pay more and jerks get a discount, which doesn't seem great.

I don't know but I always tip in cash instead, and I put "will tip in cash" in the delivery instructions/special notes/whatever thing for anything I ever order so they know I'm not just not tipping at all.

Quite a few states don't have a lower "tipped wage". Tipped wages are all about subsidizing the establishment owners, not tipping the employees.

I never tell that I'm tipping in cash because the restaurant might be run by a shithead who takes a cut of tips.

This. I tip a bit, but in my country waiters get roughly median wage before tips and it seems to work pretty well.
