Waymos have blocked roadways and intersections, obstructed fire and police vehicles, driven through emergency-response scenes, and passed stopped school buses.
They’re currently breaking the law and not being held accountable. The threat of eventually being held accountable is a step in the right direction, but the only reason they’re able to do this right now is due to money.
The fact that they weren’t being ticketed before means that we don’t even really know how bad these cars are, and yet they’ve been allowed to stay on roads with pedestrians and other cars.
Not exactly. They were breaking the law and not being held accountable. Now they’re being held accountable but how they are being held to account is problematic and toothless. That’s not the same thing and it’s exactly what my comment was trying to highlight. There are ways that the law can progress to be more effective.
Think about how laws and legislation evolve over time.
Some legislation has a habit of giving the perpetrators who violate it enough rope to hang themselves. That’s why I laid out what I said to include other steps they could take to amend or update the legislation.
A ban on self driving vehicles would be better, and we already know that Musk among others has been throwing money at keeping that from happening for ages.
Either way, if you can tell me why they’d bother to allow them to be ticketed rather than just not doing that like they already weren’t, I’d love to be enlightened.

Needing to report incidents isn’t being held accountable. They’re not facing any consequences for breaking the law.
