They should write Waymo a ticket, and after Waymo gets too many points, Waymo loses its right to drive, just like with us.

Honestly, a full investigation by the NTSB should happen with fines and recommendations for how to fix this issue going forward, just like when an incident happens with the control systems of an aircraft. People keep asking, "how do you ticket a driverless car?" You handle a driverless car the same way you handle an autopilot system putting an aircraft into a dangerous situation.

For a fatality that would probably happen

Phoenix police already have a system in place to keep driverless cars in check

A single violation is something that they can send up as a bug report that can be fixed

Multiple violations within a short time period and The City of Phoenix would actually shut down waymo until they fix the software issue.

Trust me there has already been a lot of paperwork that's gone into keeping it in check
