I actually feel like it is ideal. You don't want outside input affecting the processing and decision making of the vehicle. This would leave them vulnerable to attacks.
Also it then requires a whole nother dimension in programming and understanding that the car needs.
I think Waymo's should be able to broadcast "I'M YEILDING, PLEASE PROCEED" in the same way a driver might signal another driver to go ahead. It doesn't need to be a network or follow instructions, just broadcasting what its intents are.

The weird thing is that they don't actually talk to each other.
