If it was the same guy, why wouldn't he have constant connectivity problems if he has any problems? I know with my home Internet, when it's flaky, it's often flaky for days or weeks at a time. (The real question of course is why the video conferencing software was willing to drop video, why it wasn't uploaded as a file to a cloud server, why he didn't confirm they'd seen everything, and so on and so forth - but glitchy home connections are, and always have been, a fact of life.)

Yeah I don't buy that at all, sounds like made up excuse that is hard to disprove.

But even if true, clearly the Cruise folks must have expected questions about the dragging and if none came should have wondered why. They witheld evidence, intentionally or not, but knowingly.

That occurred to me as well. Also, it seemed notable that the one meeting that was not marked by connectivity problems seemed like the one with the audience least likely to have regulatory implications (SFPD/SFFD).
