    Did they even consider the possibility of a pedestrian being dragged / run over when designing their software?

    From the report (pp 83 of the appendix), it seems like there’s no camera to monitor the undercarriage: it detected it was part of an accident and tried to find a side of the road to stop at, but then further detected something fucky (technical term) with one of the wheels so it just stopped. But at no point did it directly detect a whole human underneath it. It looks like it took ~4.5s to decide to stop after travelling ~20ft at 7.7 mph.
