Self-Driving Cars Will Decide Who Lives & Who Dies
But how will they make that decision?
Contributor: Matt O'Brien
BOSTON (AP) Imagine you're behind the wheel when your brakes fail. As you speed toward a crowded crosswalk, you're confronted with an impossible choice: veer right and mow down a large group of elderly people, or veer left into a woman pushing a stroller.

Actually most of them have pretty solid freeway systems, speed limits comparable to ours, and vehicles that out perform ours (American cars are famous for cornering like boats).
What I want is for Americans to actually learn to drive.

Who is Mindy on NCIS?
With amendments: First time Id seen Michael Weatherly since 86-ing NCIS a few years ago after theyd axed or killed off the Israelis, turned ({Mork and} Mindys husband) Mark Harmon into god (after his big victories over Bellisario), and gelded Tony and Tim.
It's been a couple years since I watched the show, used to like it, especially Weatherly and de Pablo, although I liked the early Kate and and Lauren Holly days the best.

Aside from the Elite who want to force these cars and more control on the rest of us, is there anyone or any market for a self driving car?
