>If the ambulance was in a hurry

i believe they were.

>they could have rammed the Waymo

Not an expert but i think the goal is to get the ambulance and its occupants to a specific location and then make an egress to a nearby medical facility? Also I'm not confident ambulances are designed to execute the pit maneuver.

>I am sure Google wouldn't have sued for damages.

Oh well if that's the case i guess it's all alright.

>First responders can put the vehicle into a manual mode to move it if needed.

I really feel like you're missing the point of why you're supposed to pull over and yield right-of-way for emergency vehicles.



Can't pit a stationary vehicle.
