>If you watch the video, the cat is unfortunate, but not particularly concerning.

I suspect you'd feel different if it was your cat.

>It's very unlikely that a human would do any better (though, I'd welcome Waymo adding more sensors to the undercarriage to prevent this in the future).

Except the human driver would've almost certainly communicated with the woman trying to collect the cat. I'm surprised they don't have a robust undercarriage array given the hypothetical risk to children, even adults.
