The dragging incident actually happened in 2024 with a different self-driving car company (Cruise by General Motors) https://www.ktvu.com/news/cruise-fined-500000-filing-false-report-about-driverless-car-dragging-pedestrian.amp They tried to cover it up too. By the end of that year, GM had stopped funding Cruise and driverless taxis, and is now focusing only on driver-assist features.

  • Yeah, they had to change things, the person was hit by a human driver and flung in the self driving cars path and the human driver drove off. The self driving car didn't know what to do and dragged the body to the side of the road basically. None of these incidents took place by a Waymo vehicle though. Waymo has had to shoulder the shit that Tesla and other companies have put out. GM as you said making that "mistake".
