Google would probably be held 100% liable if it happened from their car. . What I don’t get is why Waymo allows unaccompanied juvenile riders at all? That seems like a huge risk for them.

Teen accounts are supposed to be governed by the parent account. I understand the appeal. Parents I've spoken to feel safer putting their kid in a Waymo than and Uber. And I guess the time savings of not driving them around yourself are too compelling.

As of this writing, Waymo only permits unaccompanied minors in the Metro Phoenix area. The incident occurred in San Francisco, so it seems that they should not have riding without an adult. https://support.google.com/waymo/answer/16389431?sjid=16665774682959300202-NC https://support.google.com/waymo/answer/16389431?sjid=166657...

> What I don’t get is why Waymo allows unaccompanied juvenile riders at all? Why not? They can already take an uber. It's questionable which is safer

  I wasn’t talking about the kids’ safety, I was referring to Waymo’s liability.
