Raw LLM Responses

There was a news article a few days ago about a Waymo vehicle hitting and killing a dog, which illustrates the problem. Regardless of how I feel about pets (I am a very sentimental dog lover) the prospect of jail or a large fine would motivate me to avoid hitting a dog, whether it was someone's pet or a feral coyote. But with Waymo/Google, there's no one to send to jail if it WERE adjudged a crime, and a fine that would bankrupt me would be insignificant to them. It's literally just a cost of doing business. I feel like there are several reasons that self-driving taxis would be a good thing. But without significant consequences, (aside from possible negative publicity) it's hard to see how they will be motivated to focus on safety, rather than efficiency and growth.
