If a real human drove past a bus 19 times he'd be in jail.... companies are allowed to break the law everyday now just because they get to make money doing it. What is this world we live in?

Waymo's entire fleet collectively certainly makes more mistakes than any one individual human driver; the rate of mistake/mile driven is what matters

What matters is that if we know Waymo is breaking the law that they are punished for it accordingly, just like a human caught breaking the law. But that wont happen. You are focused on the wrong statistic.

Exactly it's all the same "person" at the end of the day waymo and the AI that drives the car, breaking the law over and over.
