Waymo has been quite good about responsibly learning and improving imo. I do hope and think they’ll learn from this.

Have they implemented a cat-friendly update since the incident a few months ago?

I had to look up what this was a reference to. Several months ago a cat ran underneath a Waymo and the vehicle's rear tire ran over it while pulling away from the curb. The NYT has a video [1] of the incident.
