Yeah that’s some bullshit. I got tagged by a speed camera in the Netherlands, two months later I got the citation in California. They sent it to the registered owner, sixt, they forwarded it to me.
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.
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.
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
It’ll just have a string of complaints from citizens about the fine not being implemented while in sits there for years.

Knowing the Netherlands, it likely was a hefty fine.
Well, you see, companies are wealthy and they have great lawyers, unlike the poors.
