> the robotaxi company has acknowledged the death but stopped short of claiming responsibility
Which is probably accurate, cats are notorious for darting into traffic, and in this case the cat ran under the car while it was pulling away. While I would like autonomous vehicles to be better than us, the responsibility lies in the store owner who let their cat play in the street
Jk, I think my family alone had about 5 animals die to humans driving cars. (Very rural area with a mostly quiet road. A number of these were stray cats, can’t really control where they go.)
