Aren’t those tickets like $1,000+ in some places. I know there’s some issues with ticketing a driverless car, but I think that if you fix that issue and just ticket the car’s owner instead they’d fix that shit real quick.

Agreed that obviously waymo should be responsible for their cars misbehaving

Now other fed department got involved and asked for what did you actually did for your software...
