I propose taking that 1k, measuring against the average income of anyone who makes under 1M, and use that percentage of cost of living to fine the company appropriately.
Example: 1k fine for someone who makes 10k/yr, that 1k is 10% of their yearly income, whereas a company that makes 10,000,000,000/yr, that’s only 0.0001%
It would make sense to scale it to what one car makes the company, since you’re fining them for a violation done by one car.
With your suggestion, it would be a lot easier and cheaper for the state to simply ban Waymo, since that would be the result.
I’m tired of state leadership taking bribes from big businesses instead fines and taxes.
Too many have been taking the “easier and cheaper” route for too long, and that’s a big part of why we’re in the capitalist hellscape we’re currently in.

No, keep it scaled to the company.
