That's not how self-driving cars work. You could look at the car's memory, find a segmentation mask for the cat with an associated probability, and replay the data to see why it allegedly ran over the cat. You can make changes like prioritizing avoidance of blurry cat-like blobs if that's what you wanna do. Can't say the same for that human truck driver who slammed into 37 cats a few weeks ago ("Cats missing after animal rescue group involved in crash that killed 8 people on I-85" Atlanta News First Oct. 15, 2025)
