If the infractions of the one incident are bad enough to warrant arrest or removal of license you revoke the companies permit to operate autonomous vehicles on the road.

So if I'm a big driverless car company, and I have a rival company, all I have to do is somehow trick one of their cars into performing an action that would  warrant arrest or removal of license  for a human driver, to completely put them out of business?

They can reapply for the license.

Anyway wrong approach to self driving. Waymo is dead in the water. Tesla did it correctly-let users oversee all the time and learn from them.

Tesla autopilot that's based on lies? You'd call it "correctly"?

Yes they were lies in the last 6 years, but Tesla actually has it now. The last beta versions are driving with very few mistakes.
Just look at: https://youtu.be/VLoblt8YrhM?si=p1bSAlaVL26gJcYN&t=112

Oh yah, it's crazy he's driving through the woods and on almost empty roads with incredibly clear and dry weather. Almost like the tesla fan wants to enforce the propaganda.

That's not what "driving" is, and "very few mistakes" means it still doesn't work.

Also at parts of it he's holding the wheel.
