On one hand this could happen to anyone so it's unfair to pin it on Cruise. OTOH the victim will sue no matter what so I guess this is what insurance is for. There's nothing to learn from this.

I’m not convinced a human driver wouldn’t notice running over something and the additional friction from dragging somebody over a distance.

Anecdotal of course, but even when I accidentally ran over a squirrel I _immediately_ noticed. Running a _person_ over and _dragging them_... well I think I would realize.

Obviously this is some serious arm-chair speculation so take it with a grain of salt.

I can feel the difference when I have a passenger in the car vs not.
