Are we blaming Waymo now for letting one car driving through a busy street ?

It does not warrant to set the car on fire.

I don't see anyone here pinning blame on Waymo for the incident.

I agree, but it is also true that Waymo shouldn’t have been there. You can blame Waymo for not planning ahead, or the City/State for not being proactive about regulating where and how autonomous vehicles operate around what is basically a festival, or both; and you can also blame the crowd for setting fire to it.

However you want to slice that blame cake, it probably shouldn’t have been there and it had no way of making that determination without being directed.
