Right. It seems to have been Waymo's decision to have zero blind spots around the vehicle perimeter, even if that means having the sensors stick out.

Cruise had an accident where another vehicle knocked a pedestrian into a Cruise car, and the pedestrian was dragged. Cruise lost their California DMV autonomous license for that. So there's a good case for full perimeter coverage.

Humans don't have that. The same week as the Cruise incident, a NYPD tow truck dragged a pedestrian some distance because they were in a blind spot for the driver.

They lost their license for not reporting it properly (as required under the license). Not for the accident.

Did the tow truck driver lose their license?
