ohh no no. When Police call a tow truck, the tow company comes, takes the vehicle off to a lot and the owner has to come to collect it, generally with cash.
I'm not saying just do it maliciously, but if they're asked to drive the car off, they should just block it and call a tow company.
Waymo pays for that toe and an outlandish amount of daily fees until they pick it up.
To them, it's no big deal, a few hundred dollars.
but compound that with the car being out of service for a few days. hiring someone, or flying someone in to unlock it... easy peasy
