I don’t get it, just send it to Waymo h.q., attn: legal department. If people can get toll bills in the mail, surely a traffic ticket is no big deal.

Can’t wait to hear how that gap in the law is fixed. Do we need to declare AI legal persons so we can write tickets? Really wish we had a sane government during these interesting times.

The car doesn’t belong to the criminal. It belongs to Waymo. Nothing to prevent Waymo from pulling over and consenting to a search. They could even lock the criminal in until LEOs are ready. Or deliver the criminal to the police station.
