I would guess the autonomous vehicle is safer then the hit & run driver who threw the pedestrian under that AV.

then they shouldn't have tried to cover it up

because a human driver would have handed that dash cam footage right over voluntarily.

I agree this is terrible and DMV did the right thing. Context helps.
