    I’m against robotaxis but in this particular case the taxi was stopped and the cat darted under it as it started to move. A human driver would have likely hit it too.

      Cats darting under a car are almost daily occurence where I live. There are numerous situations and we humans adapt quiet well.

        cats, the animal most notorious for being contrary and doing dangerous things often enough that they were given the mythos of having “nine lives”, never dart under quiet electric moving vehicles?

        I’ve had several times a cat has run out in the road in front of my car, and would have gone under if I hadn’t stopped quickly. Happily I’ve not hit one, few close calls though.
