Dear SD U-T Editor,
There are recent rumors that San Diego will soon have a new ride-share called “Waymo”. As I understand it, Waymo is a vehicle without a driver.
I look forward to reading the newspaper coverage of that new service.
It raises a question.
Under state law drivers must exchange identification and insurance information in the event of a collision. If I were to bump into a Waymo, how do I tell it who I am and who is my car insurance carrier?
Do I put the insurance ticket under the windshield wiper, like the parking enforcement officers do, and just leave the Waymo sitting at the intersection, blocking traffic?
How does the Waymo give me insurance information and, importantly, identification of its driver?
When you write up the Waymo introduction, please tell us how Waymo vehicles will comply with that state law.
