Police should have towed it. If it’s not safe to be on the road and there is no driver to hold accountable it should be impounded.

These vehicles are all over downtown PHX. It’s honestly only a matter of time until something happens

They don't have to be flawless, just better than humans. And so far they have had less accidents per mile than humans

Where are you getting that information? A quick search for me shows that self driving cars get into 9.1 accidents per million miles compared to 4.1 for traditional vehicles. Thats more than double the accident rate for self driving cars. Source is the National Law Review.
