So if a business has AI drive a car, but then AI hands it over to a human who has no drivers license in the location, they are essentially allowing someone to operate a vehicle without a license, who is not even inside the country. If that car crashes into someone, Waymo has to explain why they let someone wildly unqualified and unlicensed operate for them. That’s millions in damages for gross neglect.
