They should program it to just slam on the brakes whenever it identifies a driver behind looking at a phone. Proactively bankrupt such people.

Fun fact: while daily generally lies on the rear-ending driver, intentionally causing an accident will always get the lion’s share of blame. This would bankrupt Waymo, not anyone else.
