How do accidents work with driverless cars? Like does the passenger have the obligation to stay with the car and get the other driver's insurance?

At this point, a waymo rep will show up in like 45seconds. They often tail their own vehicles.
But yes, you're required to stay. Imagine you're a passenger in a crash and the driver dies. Same rules apply.

Yeah that’s not gonna be sustainable and completely eliminates a labor benefit if you still need a human.

Its for testing. And in a downtown area they can just station an accident recover car.
Given they have a dozen cameras on the car, pretty easy to have a fully documented accident for the police.

That makes sense, I suppose it's way too soon to have this sort of thing on anything but a very short leash.

This is not true. There is no law against refusing to be a witness.

It would be the same way it works with Uber. Of course the passenger wouldn't have to handle the incident.

Should be:
Car pulls over, new Waymo car is called immediately for passengers, passengers move to new car, driver of the other car/police wait for Waymo rep to arrive...
Or something like that.
