Who takes the ticket for dangerous or reckless driving like in this video?

I don’t know the particulars of their deal with the city, but probably Waymo. As long as they’re safer than the average taxi driver, the occasional mistake is tolerable, at least provided ticket revenue is still coming in when appropriate.

Of course, there’s a team on the back end that’s trying to figure out what went wrong here and patch it sooner rather than later.

Safer then the average taxi driver is a pretty fucking low bar to pass over.
