I think it is really weird that they got license to operate driver-less without anything considered for these situations. Or is the independent making it sound like something it isn't?

Seems more like the value of a single ticket would mean nothing to Waymo anyways, but the value of keeping their license means a lot. Makes it much easier for them to simply report software bugs and fix them, without some random tiny fine amount attached to individual violations to deal with processing. Unlike humans, the robot doesn’t need constant disincentives to dissuade it from breaking the law for convenience; it just needs to be told when it broke the law.
Americans are ridiculous. They are mad they get tickets and want it fair so google gets one too.
But if you’re pissed about getting tickets, then complain that we should change policy and not give tickets at all. Geez why do people want to see someone else suffer like them instead of vote to fix it so none of us suffer.
The car is registered to some entity. If I stopped my car in the middle of the intersection and left it, they would tow the car and send me a fine in the mail, even if I wasn't in the car. This bullshit about not being able to ticket someone is pure stupidity. Cops ticket cars without a driver in them all the time. Someone had to go out and put the car on the road, someone has the ability to control it, and someone owns it. This whole wall-e mentality of "can't do it, computer said so" is insane.

If there aren’t any fines, why should Waymo fix bugs?
If there isn’t any threat to Waymo they are incentivized to fix bugs…
It's a nothing burger.
Everyone is so mad it didn’t get a ticket too.

Luckily America has spent many years making corporations people, so should be easy enough to ticket? I am impressed they got it to pull over though
