    True. But if a clueless driver tried to hide that they started driving again with someone trapped underneath, we view that as a criminal act.

    I could totally see and even understand not knowing they were under the car and so trying to clear the scene of the accident.
    It’s the specific attempt to obscure that it happened. If a human did that, loosing their license is basically the bare minimum I’d expect.
    This isn’t an issue with the technology, but an issue with the company not being able to be relied upon to develop the technology in public in a safe fashion.
