@sweetenthestreets @StroomAfwaarts @joelle The computers can be trained to drive cars. Yet questions remain: Can they be trained to drive cars better than a drunk person? Can they be trained to drive cars better than the average driver? Can they be trained to drive cars better than 99% of drivers? Can they be trained to know when they are no long safe to drive and should pull over? I'd love to hear the opinions of people who do real-world AI.

@supakaity @joelle Wow, it seems you would be safer not playing the "try to kill me" game and just driving the car. I find my old electric Hyundai does a good job of going where it is pointed and stopping only if told to. Or if I really am about to drive right into a stopped car, wall, etc.

@StroomAfwaarts @sweetenthestreets @joelle @StroomAfwaarts I'm actually not convinced that trolley problems are relevant. No car driver has done any pre-thinking about these issues. They don't usually happen. In the typical case, a car driver sees a problem they don't want to hit/worsen and hits the brakes or evades into a nearby lane without checking. It sucks but that's emergencies for you.
