Are you referring to this incident?
If so, how would you want someone to refer to it?
I'm out of the loop on this one -- I don't recall hearing about this "dragged 20 feet" incident until now.
The pedestrian was first hit by a human driver, who drove off without stopping. They were knocked under the self driving car, which responded to the incident by braking ASAP. Which unfortunately stopped them on top of the victim. Calling it the fault of the AI is badly misrepresenting the situation.
