> they don't have access to Waymo's data.

That seems odd. Surely the authority that licenses this sort of activity should have access to all the data that allows proper evaluation of its safety?

Access to such data should be a prerequisite for the agreement.

It’s such a new area legally that there aren’t precedents for this. Consider dietary supplements as an example of a product that doesn’t have to provide their own safety data.

You would think that, but the quotes in the article from the relevant officials seem to imply otherwise.
