Logically, you wouldn't want it to be "easy" for your unlocked, turned on, and unmanned car to be manual-overrided in cities with low-trust societal elements. 100% of their stock would get jacked in the first day.
In that regard, I'd not blame Waymo. They gotta operate their cars in places with many, many risk factors you can't relax around, and they're safeguarding their own assets. The off-chance a cop needs to use their computers/cars is a minimal outlier compared to the more common externality factors.
This is the ONE time I'd like them to have an emergency subroutine for emergency services like give them a special key or something.
Having it to situations where emergency responses can be delayed thanks to autonomous vehicles invites liability not to mention, conspiracy of third party interference.
