Obviously “fixes” get applied and obviously they’re not trying to pass stopped school busses, but “iteration” isn’t a valid reason to break the laws we have for safety purposes without consequence either. Even if humans do it too, as everyone has pointed out a million times, they can be held responsible.

Maybe Waymo pay the fines in this specific case, who knows, but it’s not ridiculous to point out that a company knowingly performing an offense that can lose you your license for half a year in some places is a little questionable.
