Registration. If they haven’t gone through all the National Highway Safety Administration tests, it’s not able to be registered (or was a while ago, I haven’t kept up). A couple of decades ago, there was a billionaire who bought a couple extra supercars and had them destroyed by testing, so that his would be road-legal.

But aren’t Waymos all BYD? If it meets all safety standards for Waymo to register it, it should meet them for the rest of us ….. in a sane world

No, Waymos are Jaguar i-Pace (Indian owned), Ojai (Chinese Geely/Zeekr) and in the future also a version of Hyundai Ioniq (South Korea).
