I don't prefer anything, I tell you you have to assign responsibilities, and that's will slow adoption.
If the car cause an accident because it fails to spot something, do you pass it on 'mechanical error'? Because in my country that would mean the code has to be audited, like every X kilometers a mechanic has to 'audit' my car to prevent mechanical failures, and take on the responsibility if something breaks and it kills someone.
I think Waymo won't accept code audits, so the company has to take on the responsibility if a car kills someone. The only way to be sure it ends well is if Waymo is 100% sure their cars can't cause any accidents.
