If someone is a passenger (and the only person) inside a Waymo taxi, and the car runs someone over, it would not make any sense to hold the Waymo passenger responsible for that. If that's how it worked, no one would take a Waymo after the first time this happens.

The passenger is no more liable than they would be if it were a human driving. No one's suggesting anything even like that. MJ Rathbun is more like someone gave the taxi explicit instructions to run people over.
