Intervention Criteria:

Waymo has established a set of criteria for determining when to intervene. These criteria include:

1. Safety: If the autonomous driving system detects a potential safety issue, such as a pedestrian or vehicle in the road, it will take control of the vehicle to ensure the safety of the passengers and other road users.
2. Technical issues: If the autonomous driving system encounters a technical issue, such as a software glitch or a hardware malfunction, Waymo may intervene to diagnose and resolve the issue.
3. Emergency situations: In the event of an emergency, such as a medical emergency or a vehicle accident, Waymo may intervene to take control of the vehicle and provide assistance.
