“While our vehicle was stopped to pick up passengers, a nearby cat darted under our vehicle as it was pulling away,” a company spokesperson said.

I'm not super keen on robo-cars, because they're being rushed out by corporations that want to start raking in the money while using the public to beta test their platform. but let's be honest here, if the car was driven by a human, they almost certainly would have run over that cat too.

Mmmm. You're taking "company spokesperson" at face value there.

Let's be real though, a meeting of highly paid, highly skilled people came up with that response then it was sanitised through three more filters before reaching our eyes.
