Workplace injuries have never been swept under the rug, especially if those cleaners are non-persons in the eyes of the government.

That's a possibility. Google appears to be contracting out depot work to car rental companies because a Waymo depot is basically a car rental lot. They need three shifts for each depot. So there's probably a couple hundred people who would otherwise be cleaning out rental cars working the depots. At some point injuries would get hard to sweep under the rug.
