The Camry driver was either absolutely or co-equally required to yield (TIL that despite the DMV Driver Handbook saying the former about freeway merges, there's signficant debate over whether that or equal responsibility is a correct interpretation of the Vehicle Code.)

No, it's Nicole Karlis, a Salon staff writer on tech, health, and gender politics who has not won a Pulitzer.
Now, the article is a sensationalized rehash of an incident from of a New Yorker article by Charles Duhigg, but he is not the author of the article directly at issue.
“unlicensed”, per the article. “undocumented” in US parlance, referring to an individual, usually refers to immigration status; the article only indicates this driver had no driver's license.
All the tech aside (because I suppose they'll kind of get it done sooner or later), what I really want to know on this subject is: who's legally responsible in the case of an accident?

The article only says he was unlicensed; the upthread poster converted that to “undocumented”.
Similar issue of legal repercussions, but in the larger context of the current political environment, worlds apart.
