Not exactly Waymo's fault this one, is it?

It may depend on if the vehicle opted to avoid hitting the cat, when most human drivers would have.

I suspect Waymo can provide better incident data than humans would and I'll give them a point for that.

I think this ambiguity nicely highlights why the New York Post is a horrific source of news and raw information.

Shallow reporting, limited facts, clickbait, article is not worth putting into my brain.

Their automated product killed a living creature. Yes, it is by definition their fault.
