Enforcement will be difficult like everything else. And I don’t like the chances of a local government authority trying to chase Google for fines, seems like it will take a federal government to set the rules as a condition to permitting them to operate.
Mney where the mouth… uhh, would have been is what’s needed. Fines for driverless vehicles should be set at, say, four times those for vehicles with drivers, and strict liability for corporate officers for any harm caused to pedestrians, cyclists, other vehicles or drivers.
Human drivers also park there so at least they’re not worse I guess?
The arsehole human parking in the bike lane can be caught and fined.
Allowing Waymo to do it normalises it and makes the issue worse.
are you sure waymo is not fined for it?
I don’t think they are at the moment, but Waymo seem to expect everyone to just accept it, at least according to some allegations: https://road.cc/news/driverless-taxis-veering-into-cycle-lanes-normal-practice-says-waymo

It’s a state matter. Involving the Feds will mean nothing is done.

I feel like Waymos would be easier. You just send it to Google, since they’re responsible for operation.
