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.
Any safety regulations based on this fatality are going to hit Waymo just as much as Uber, but also slow Waymo down and give Uber time to catch up. Any financial fine would be tiny comparing to total money invested in self driving technology.
