Waymo is driving the car and should be held accountable like any other driver.
I assume that's how it works already.

I think this is more about the legal system than tech credibility.
That is, I expect that Waymo will be required to pay for accidents they cause, whether they want to or not.
I believe how they navigate the legal system through this will indeed affect their credibility. It's the one channel where you need to be the most honest (if you aren't the government itself), so I hold a lot more weight on that than on PR statements.
I hope so too. I'll be keeping a close eye on how they handle this, though. My benefit of the doubt for tech was already long drained, and is especially critical for safety critical industries.
