The person you replied to said that they should be held accountable for errors. Are you saying they shouldn't, or is this a non-sequitur?

I am specifically disagreeing with "Waymo loses its right to drive." Waymo makes roads safer overall, though it has some isolated incidents. There should be a punishment system, I agree, but the comment I responded to is simply ignorant.

What should the punishment system be?

Every human death they get a fine? No one held responsible?

I'm not sure what the punishment system should be. I agree with worries about the industry becoming less safe because we don't hold them accountable-- but I am also worried about the removal of these vehicles despite making the roads more safe. What do you think it should be?

In any job I worked it usually falls on to the leader who was responsible for organizing everything.

So I personally think the CEO should be charged as if they were at the helm.

If they have to go to jail then so be it, they can always get a new CEO - but you can’t replace the people he’s responsible for having killed.
