From the article: >Of course, cars will very rarely be in a situation where it[sic] there are only two courses of action, and the car can compute, with 100% certainty, that either decision will lead to death. But with enough driverless cars on the road, it’s far from implausible that software will someday have to make such a choice between causing harm to a pedestrian or passenger. Any safe driverless car should be able to recognize and balance these risks. An interesting example would be a fast-developing natural disaster, such as an earthquake, that causes falling debris [1] and road damage [2] and as a result quickly and drastically changes available options for many different vehicles and pedestrians in a short amount of time.
