You can hold someone accountable when a person runs over a child or a pet. Who is the responsible party when a waymo kills someone?

They thought like would go up forever, and now that the line is starting to slow down, they gotta do a sacrifice to make the line look like it is still going up

What's the actual difference? You end up at the same place with either one.
