> Cruise had an accident where another vehicle knocked a pedestrian into a Cruise car, and the pedestrian was dragged. Cruise lost their California DMV autonomous license for that

Cruise didn't lose the license because the car and/or human operator accidentally dragged a pedestrian (similar to the NYPD Truck). They lost their license because some time after the accident, Cruise employees fully aware of what transpired chose to cover up that part in their report of the accident to the state regulators. The state regulators found it out anyway.
