You're driving down an alley way. There are tons of them in Toronto for example where people have their garages.Its one way, and barely wide enough for one and a half cars let alone two cars. Guy comes out and points a gun at you. Someone needs to program them bitches to detect a gun and floor that poo poo.

Also, for something like a deer, (or person, if there is no where to swerve) perhaps the car decides to ram on the brakes, and deploy a pedestrian airbag, so that if the car does hit person/animal, the blow is cushioned as much as practically possible?

Food for discussion or derision.

is there an option for the trolley to run over the one person, then back up and proceed on the path that has ten people tied to the tracks?

Michael on The Good Place had a great answer: what the trolley needed was an extendable scythe to cut down the folks on the other track as it was running over one set.

See? We can't solve this, I don't even know why you're talking about it, xzzy. :rolleyes:

Self-driving cars would reduce the incidence of this through two mechanisms: Seeing the pedestrian earlier, and having a more predictable reaction to them. People run out in front of cars, in part, because they think the driver will stop. If they know that self-driving cars will not ever stop for them (or that they will, I'm not implying one or the other is correct), they will modify their behavior.

But man, day one will be interesting.

krakkles sez: floor that poo poo every time. People will learn not to walk in alleys.

Instead of individual self driving cars we should have larger vehicles that can seat dozens of people.

They could even have predetermined stations along the routes that would allow passengers to get on and off.

People keep talking about a fleet of non-owned, subscription based EV driverless cars that can come pick you up and take you home while simultaneously sneering at public transit. A bum is going to poo poo in a driverless car within hours of it becoming available, at least a bus driver can kick them off

you could load a driverless car up with drugs and send it wherever, if it gets pulled over who gives a poo poo.

After every passenger leaves, a hyperspectral camera takes a photo of the back seat and if anything unusual shows up the car steers to the nearest cleaning service and bills the customer.

I realize that many of you grew up in the social media age, and a cornfield is something you saw once on a field trip in elementary school, but that video has nothing to do with social media stardom and everything to do with young men (and women, honestly) that live out in the boonies do all sorts of poo poo like that for fun and maybe to impress girls.

That's exactly the sort of stuff that half my high school friends would do even before Jackass made it more visible nationwide.
