Oh well. Maybe next decade.
And no, most human drivers would easily detect a human being stuck under their vehicle within seconds.
There's a good chance the woman would have been _killed outright_ if it hadn't been a Cruise. Are we willing to accept strange and inhuman failure modes if they overall lead to better safety than human drivers?

It should be "was the eventual outcome better than what a human driver would have achieved in the same situation?"
It's not actually clear that a human driver would have done better, and given that the human driver in this incident did a hit-and-run and still hasn't been caught, assuming that is... questionable.
The safety record of these cars is actually quite good when you consider the environment and times of day they operate in.
