This is negligent homicide. Same as would be charged to a person who kills someone while under the influence of drugs or alcohol. In this case, Uber is under the influence of greed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negligent_homicide and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicular_homicide

They should at minimum lose their license to drive as would a human being who committed the same crime. They should also be "imprisoned" by way of losing their right to exist in society for a period of 3-15 years like a human being.

This is what happens when we let criminally minded sociopathic corporations flaunt the law. They flaunt more and more laws until someone dies.

It's wrong and I am not shocked in the least that Uber would let something like this happen.

This should be an existential crime. How many laws must they break until we stop them?

Paraphrasing: the notion of corporate citizenship should include corporate prisons.
