The way I see it is that this fatality was a calculated risk for Uber. Uber realizes how much Waymo is ahead of them and decides to drop too many safety restraints in development of the self-driving technology. The fatality is likely not cause big direct loses to Uber. Any safety regulations coming out of the result are going to hit Waymo just as much as Uber, slow them down and give uber time to catch up. Any financial fine would be tiny comparing to total money invested in self driving technology.
