To be fair to Cruise, training data for situations like this is going to be sparse.

Most of us will drive for an entire lifetime and never come across a body in the road.

Also, what are you even supposed to do if another car strikes a pedestrian and launches them directly in front of your car?

Aggressively braking to minimize the damage is probably the best you can do, and it seems like that's what the car did.
