Another option: fining Cruise and Waymo thousands of dollars for each robotaxi road blockage.

What? Fining GM and Google will not result in any changes at all. Corporations are immune to fines. Why do we pretend a corporation's behavior is affected by fines?

They get fines where the public would get jail. Maybe, since cOrPoRaTiOnS aRe pEoPLe, we can send them to jail just like everyone else.
