    Just tell the cops they’re allowed to stab the tires and have it towed. The problem will fix itself one way or another.

      The state’s allowed to ban the company from the roads if they bother too many people or officials—a fairly enormous stick.

      Make the whole world’s governments mad? Investors won’t be too happy. Huggge stick.

      It does break from our “one immediate fine/ticket for one infraction” paradigm so I understand why it looks bad.

      Gosh can you imagine if they drop our numbers from ~seven Californians killed on our roads every day to [far] fewer… (guy can dream, obvy they’re not perfect)

      You’ve got the right spirit but I think it’s unlikely that the car would realize its tires have been destroyed, I think it would just keep driving around just with less control over its actions which might not be the best.

      Give them a little hand-carried version of The Grappler, and then if Waymo has some kind of concern about what has happened to the brakes and suspension and all sorts of shit that is broken now, just give 'em one of these.
