It's not enough, because at least for me and a few others (e.g. the neighboring comment "If the footage is not released to the public I'm going to assume it makes Waymo look bad.") being able to judge the event personally can establish much more trust than anything they do with the regulators, because we also don't necessarily fully trust the regulators and their political motivation, and want to see if we would agree with the regulators for such major cases.

Unless you’re willing to watch millions of hours video of every Waymo vehicle driving and judge them in aggregate, watching a one-off incident will tell you nothing about their safety. At that point, you might as well trust their aggregate statistics reported to the regulators because they capture everything.

If you’re not an expert, it’s best to let the regulators and insurance adjusters do their job.

Your argument is much less effective at making me trust Waymo than the accident video could be.

Esp if one considers it’s the same argument cops make when trying to suppress incriminating police shooting footage.
