It's wild that Cruise intentionally decided to hide the information of them dragging a person under the car for 20 feet from regulators. However, now that the news is out, their PR team says they showed the video to DMV folks while DMV denies that. Well, someone is lying and I bet it is Cruise.
Here is Cruise initial NHTSA filing: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/inv/2023/INOT-PE23018-11585P2.pdf https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/inv/2023/INOT-PE23018-11585P2.p... They mention every detail from start to end but don't mention the fact that they dragged a person under the car.
Let me be very clear, if Cruise just collided with a person due to the mistake of another driver, that's cool. However, this is something way worse. Cruise car stopped, and then decided to drive 20 feet dragging the pedestrian under the car because someone on Cruise team designed a rule that says "if there is a collision, move away from the spot after stopping to avoid blocking traffic". No human driver will ever do that.
