Nice pap piece, but all it is doing is forwarding an agenda with a narrative. Put two people darting out into traffic with no way for the vehicle to respond until someone is going to be hit. The car has to choose one or the other to die. Either way, especially if this happens in the USA, the company that built the car, and the people who writhe the software that told the car which choice to make, is going to face a pretty heavy lawsuit. Frankly, it scares me that we are preparing to put machines into that position. Who should live and who should die being decided by an algorithm.
