    I suspect there is something more to this than just that. After all, the car in question did this:

    Earlier this month, a Cruise robotaxi notably ran over a pedestrian who had been hit by another vehicle driven by a human. The pedestrian became pinned under a tire of the Cruise vehicle after it came to a stop — and then was pulled for about 20 feet (six meters) as the car attempted to move off the road.

    It seems like there are unsolvable safety problems going on.
