“UNABLE TO ISSUE CITATION TO COMPUTER,” say dispatch records, AZCentral writes. Arizona law does allow officers to give out tickets when a robotaxi commits a traffic violation while driving autonomously; however, officers have to give them to the company that owns the vehicle. Doing so is “not feasible,” according to a Phoenix police spokesperson quoted by trade publication Repairer Driven News earlier this year.
The weight increases each month it’s open and you need to go speak to a judge to have it lowered. If the ticket is open for too long, the police issue a warrant for your arrest.
Let say the ticket is 100 dollars thats like a millisecond of profit for Google. So what’s the point, threaten them with revoking the robot taxi license.
Which company is that? The car is probably owned by an LLC based out of a different state, so you have to track down the formation documents there to find the owning company, only to find it’s membership is another LLC in a different state, and so on for 90 levels of bullshit.
I do code enforcement on commercial properties and it can take 50 hours and thousands of dollars in research to figure out who the responsible party is.
Code enforcement for commercial properties is one thing, a simple traffic citation is another.
The responsible party is usually whoever is driving. In the case of self-driving taxi services, like Waymo, the ticket should go to the company the vehicle is registered under.
Which is super easy to pull up, so easy in fact that other automated enforcement mechanisms, like tolls or red light cameras do this with rental companies all the time. Rent a car and go through some tolls or trigger a red light camera and you’ll get a bill “forwarded” to you in a month or 2.
Yeah, I can mail a ticket to the address on file for a company, but half the time they’re isn’t even a mailbox. I recently sent a letter to every commercial property owner in the city, and over 60% of them for returned as undeliverable.
This should be an automatic impound of the vehicle and when the rep comes to pick it up hand them the ticket. Or you know, make the police send them a damn ticket.

That’s gotta be the biggest crock of shit I’ve ever heard, you write the ticket up, and you mail it to the company.
Give them a Jira ticket

Well, you see, companies are wealthy and they have great lawyers, unlike the poors.

so it’s just effectively legal to send out killer robotaxis, great!
