So, how are those things street-legal again?

Easy. Waymo specifically, because over 22 million miles, they have demonstrated that they have about 7 times fewer crashes with injuries than human drivers. (0.4 collisions with injuries per million miles, compared to 2.78 for human drivers).

I don't work for Waymo and I have no particular interest in them "succeeding" but I don't have reason to believe this data is fabricated - NHTSA has tight grips on reporting of every single incident and even disengagements of the autonomous system.

These things are not a Tesla with an inexpensive sensor suite and a deceitfully marketed advanced cruise control.
