First off, the "single engineer" was Levandowski, the person who basically started Google's self-driving team and was the lead for the project, not any random person. So what? That does not dicount the fact that a single engineer rigged the software in a way which allowed a deadly machine to be used on public roads. If anything it makes the issue much worse that the lead engineer performed such an, arguably, criminal hack. Actually I appreciate your answer. It illustrates perfectly why the SV croud cannot be trusted with policy decisions regarding autonomous vehicles.
