More context

People are discussing two very different recent Waymo-related incidents: free Waymo rides tied to a regulatory quirk in California, and a police response after Waymo reported tips connected to teens shooting Orbeez from inside a car. Together, the headlines highlight both promotion/testing through policy and the role of Waymo-enabled reporting in public safety.
