Do you think sitting inside you will be protected if someone has a gun?

So you're implying that someone in a locked Waymo was assaulted at gunpoint from outside the vehicle? These are rolling surveillance machines (in a good way?) and virtually every aspect of this would be caught on probably a dozen cameras. I'd be surprised if this hypothetical scenario has ever happened, and if it has, I'd love to see the evidence.

I think people vastly overestimate the extent to which would be criminals think ahead to the likelihood of being caught and the severity of the punishment.

If only there were a widely available technology to conceal ones face...

Cameras aren't going to stop a crime in progress.

You're laying on enough qualifiers that even a recent robbery of a Waymo is precluded, because (if we really want to victim blame) their window was down which is asking for it.

But overall, not sure why the tone of these replies: then Venn diagram of "wants to rob people" and "cares Google's AV will record it" doesn't include as much overlap as you're implying.

A Waymo has even been used as a getaway vehicle a few times now, once even successfully

Obviously the Waymo Premier service should also include a nice handgun with the car.
