The cruse driver could still have slowed their exit by a few seconds even without being a significant obstacle.

Doesn’t matter. If there’s a law about getting out of the way, offering maximum space and choices to emergency vehicles, and you didn’t do that, you failed and you broke the law.

One can definitely bicker about the details, but it doesn’t change anything about the fact that the vehicle failed to obey the law.

Then we can talk about whether the vehicle operator failed to obey the law, but I think we're talking about something far more serious, which is whether Cruise indirectly killed a man.

In determining whether Cruise has moral responsibility over this death, it is then natural for citizens to look over the video footage and ask what's going on.

This shouldn't be an issue - traffic is required to yield.

"Regardless, Cruise's vehicle clearly was at fault for not getting out of the way."

Yes, at fault for not getting out of the way. The article is a little misleading with it's insinuating that the patient death was somehow related.

And traffic is required to yield to me when I step into the road, but I still wouldn’t start crossing if I saw a car coming with no sign of stopping.
