Dante Ramos Fung Wah deserves one more chance

Fung Wah, the Chinatown bus line with the rock-bottom prices and high-profile safety troubles, hasn't made it easy for anyone to rally to its defense. But let's give it a try, shall we?

If a bunch of unrelated algorithms, interacting in unforeseen ways, puts you under heightened surveillance, blocks your credit or stunts your kids' life choices, who do you call? Who will make redress for such unforeseen, unintended automated wrongs? There are no clear answers to these questions, which is why Crawford wants to resurrect the deodand, an obscure legal term from the 11th century.
