    Code enforcement for commercial properties is one thing, a simple traffic citation is another.

    The responsible party is usually whoever is driving. In the case of self-driving taxi services, like Waymo, the ticket should go to the company the vehicle is registered under.

    Which is super easy to pull up, so easy in fact that other automated enforcement mechanisms, like tolls or red light cameras do this with rental companies all the time. Rent a car and go through some tolls or trigger a red light camera and you’ll get a bill “forwarded” to you in a month or 2.

      Yeah, I can mail a ticket to the address on file for a company, but half the time they’re isn’t even a mailbox. I recently sent a letter to every commercial property owner in the city, and over 60% of them for returned as undeliverable.
