I remember way back when that bribery and misuse of election funds case was brought up against Trump that I told my wife and I quote "if this ends up as more than a slap on the wrist I'll be surprised". I was very unsurprised.
This is on brand for that whole right wing swamp.
I mean, it sucks for the cat and the neighborhood, I'm glad that where I live there are a few very friendly outdoor cats and I've always seen people nail the brakes to avoid them the few times they cross the road.
I also understand that autonomous cars kind of need more work, but real drivers also really suck at driving. I wonder if the ire here is more at "who do we blame if no driver"
Also also, I wonder if electric cars are going to cause a lot more issues for outdoor animals who to some extend get trained to listen for a Hrududu which the electric motors don't make.
