Apparently those Waymos can't avoid small animals. After killing a cat, one ran over a dog.
Also, they have learned passive voice from the police departments:
"Unfortunately, a Waymo vehicle made contact with a small, unleashed dog in the roadway. "

"If Waymo’s results are indicative of the broader future of autonomous vehicles, we may be on the path to eliminating traffic deaths as a leading cause of mortality in the United States. While many see this as a tech story, I view it as a public health breakthrough."
Aside: When do we get to start writing "lidar" like we do with "sonar" and "radar"?

More autonomous vehicle tourism opportunities coming to the Bay Area. I recommend visitors try out Waymo for the novelty.
The ride-share area is easier to navigate than the airport's fraught passenger pickup/dropoff zone.

““The court system is currently unable to process traffic citations for AVs with no human operator. If the vehicle violates a traffic law, where a citation would be warranted, the officer must write a report providing the details surrounding the incident and the law that was violated.”
“So it looks like there are two sets of rules out there -- one for people and the other for robots,” Chris Timmons, a partner with the law firm Knowels Gallant and Timmons, said.”
“Different rules for humans and robots? APD says court system cannot process citations for Waymo”
