I think a critical point to make is that this is not actually about Tesla/Waymo. Its about creating guidelines that are generally applicable to all companies pursuing self driving car technologies.
So it applies to Tesla but perhaps more importantly companies that are trying to copy-cat style mimic Tesla's move fast approach to SDC for tech advantage reasons/marketing PR/save money and perhaps are cuting even more corners than Tesla.
Some examples I hear about are Nuro and maybe even Cruise, Aurora.
And then imagine a host of other companies as well - Faraday Future, Comma.ai, Pony.ai, Xpeng, etc. Its unclear at this point that these companies shouldn't have some oversight/held to some standard operating procedures.
