Some of the negative responses are baffling, but I guess shouldn't be too surprising seeing as they're anonymous.

>“Making a delivery might literally kill you if you get carjacked and shot. I kinda want to see this happen and see the family sue the company for like a billion dollars and win just so no company ever gets a stupid idea like this ever again.”

But getting some poor scrub contractor to do it for a fraction of the compensation is fine?

Its always 'nice' to see the concern for the fellow man that informs most progressive policy discussions being put to practice.

Seems exactly why this is a good reason to put employees to the task: To make them empathizes with what they're putting dashers into. Make them understand the system they enable.

They could be required to be on a set at least one, probably.

Understanding what world you are enabling isn't the worst, as far as bad policies are concerned.

So by correlation, the equivalent would be to send devs on the field to shadow the dashers.
