He said he can’t trust the turn signals. I’m case of a human driver, there would be the behavioral cues to fall back on. But with Waymo, you can’t predict its next move at all.

Did he see it turn without signals?

Not explicitly, I think. But if it uses the turn signals without turning, I wouldn’t feel to confident that an actual turn would be preceded by a signal, much less one with enough time for me to react (“I will turn” vs “I am turning now”).
