Is Apple responsible for distracted driving?
The article “Apple’s Corporate Responsibility for Distracted Driving” talks about if Apple is responsible for distracted driving. When my family and I go out sometimes I look at other people driving and I see some of them are on their phone. There have been many accidents and deaths because of distracted drivers. A little girl was killed by a driver who was on the FaceTime app. The family not only sued the driver but also the company. From my point of view, Apple shouldn’t be the one held responsible for all these distracted drivers. It’s mainly the drivers fault for driving so irresponsibly. Today Apple has added a special mode, Do not disturb while driving, to prevent incoming calls, text, and notification from distracting people. But even with that some people still ignore it and go on their phone despite knowing the consequences of driving while texting. Do you think that distracted driving should be blamed on the company?

I don't think that the company should be at fault for accidents caused by distracted drivers. Companies can't really do much more than what Apple is already doing, because anyone can still pick up their phone whenever they want. It is the driver's own responsibility to know that they should not be using their phone while driving, and if they choose to use it anyways then any accidents that may happen are solely their fault.
