Ask HN: Opinion on self driving cars breaking the law?

This is illegal in my state.

My feeling is that the operator of the fleet is responsible for what the cars in the fleet do. If a Waymo car is violating traffic/parking laws, then Waymo should get a ticket for that. Accumulating enough of those tickets should result in the same consequences as if a human had accumulated them.

My feeling is that the operator of the fleet is responsible for what the cars in the fleet do. If a Waymo car is violating traffic/parking laws, then Waymo should get a ticket for that. Accumulating enough of those tickets should result in the same consequences as if a human had accumulated them.
4 examples:
* Waymo pulls for pickup over blocking a parking garage entrance/exit so it would sit there for 3-5 minutes (not sure what its latest wait for passenger time is). I've seen this multiple times.
* Waymo stops at a red "no stopping" curb to pick up / drop off passengers. Often this happens right under the "no stopping" sign. This is very common.
* Waymo, wanting to turn left into a side street. There is heavy traffic (5:30pm) and ~15 cars waiting to turn left. Waymo passes the 15 cars, then makes a u-turn from the center lane, past the left turn area. There are ~7 cars trying to turn right into the same side street. Waymo passes 7 of them and then shoves its way into the side street.
* Waymos constantly flash their turning signals but don't turn.
What's HNers feelings on this. Should Waymo care? If it's on average better than humans it's ok? Should Waymo be held to a higher standard as it's effectively 1 driver?
