Another HN thread[1] revealed that the permit not only costs $150, but also mandates that Uber report accidents. (And other stuff?)

I believe self-reporting of accidents was a regulation that Google had to operate under. Funny enough, I just checked where they used to have their monthly accident reports but now it's just a Waymo landing page:

The official accident reports are still available, as they always have been, on the California DMV's website.[1]

I remember only a few months ago folks were holding up Google as the model for SDC transparency.[2] How times change!

Waymo is subject to the same reporting requirements as everyone else.

Google's reports will likely be transferred to waymo.com site soon enough, and new ones will appear in due time.
