Sounds like a scene from I, Robot.

If the passenger has posted their profession, party affiliation, and financial statement upon entry into the vehicle, the algo will be a quick calculation. /sarc

Consider also the computer driving the oncoming vehicle will also be making a decision at the same time. What if its programming has a different set of priorities?

Add this to the growing list of reasons why real “self-driving cars” aren’t going to be seen on our roads anytime soon.

[Rurudyne]

And that is why you’ll never get me in a self driving car.

Don’t worry.

No they won’t. The luddites have really gotten obsessed with the trolley problem lately, they also haven’t bothered to notice that the trolley problem is a THOUGHT experiment and out here in reality doesn’t really happen. Especially not when you’re driving.

As you approach a rise in the road, heading south, a school bus appears, driving north, one driven by a human, and it veers sharply toward you. There is no time to stop safely, and no time for you to take control of the car,” USA Today explained. “Does the car: A. Swerve sharply into the trees, possibly killing you but possibly saving the bus and its occupants? B. Perform a sharp evasive maneuver around the bus and into the oncoming...

Abolish schools. No more school buses. Problem solved.

The answer is always to minimize the damage to the occupants of the vehicle it is controlling. The other vehicles will be doing the same; whether driven by a human or software. Buses are a specious argument. They are extremely tough. Unless knocked on their sides, there are few if any injuries in bus accidents to occupants of the bus. The driver is usually the only one at risk.

We have squirrels running across the road all the time. When my kids were learning to drive, I had to make it absolutely clear to them that their lives, and the lives in other cars who might happen to be on the road with them, are more important than squirrels.

Run over the squirrels, if that’s what they choose. They have a dreadful habit of waiting by the side of the road and then dashing in front of you at the last minute.

Michael Hastings sure found that out!

[DPMD]

Has anyone yet stopped to ask why we need driverless cars? Okay, why do we need them?

If Hellary becomes POTUS, everyone who didn’t vote for her will be placed in the cars’ data causing a huge increase in Hastingscides.

Time for me to hack my car's control computer so that it knows the President, the Pope, the Dali Lama, the Queen of England and a choir of 600 children are riding with me.

And especially Elon Musk. He's in my car too.

All will have to register their race and religion before being allowed to “not drive” a driverless car. The algorithm will we created so as to kill people in proportion to their representation in the population, except for m*slims, which will be allowed to live 5 times as much as Christians.

In an impending accident, the program will have access to an immense database of road deaths, and will choose who is to die based on keeping with the law-mandated percentages of deaths.

(You think I’m kidding?)
