In response to the incident, a company spokesperson told NBC that “safety is our highest priority at Waymo"

In all the recent stories about Waymos cruising right on past stopped school buses that have their stop sign out, lights flashing, and kids crossing, they said the same thing. They also stated that Waymos "will not be taken off the streets for now." That's even though it's still happening even after they updated the software and thought they'd fixed it.

My first thought was, Why the hell do they get to say whether or not their Waymos will be taken off the streets?! Why aren't they being told to get the damn things off the streets until they've proved this won't happen again? Have we all just completely rolled over for the oligarchs to the point where we just let them do anything they want even after they've killed animals and nearly killed schoolchildren? (that's a rhetorical question of course).
