This sounds ridiculous. The car's job should always be to protect the occupant of the vehicle. Can you imagine what would happen to a car company if it was known that the car willfully choose to kill the customer if it meant that multiple other lives would be saved?
Another scenario, imagine you are driving on a freeway but a couple people decide to hop onto the freeway and cross it on foot. Would you rather just run them over or ram your own car and kill yourself just so that 2 people aren't harmed?
- emp_zealoth 10y agoI'm gonna take the issue with what you said. Ironically, I had exactly that problem when driving to Alps at night. Some guy drunk/high out of his mind ambled onto the freeway and just casually walked across while I was heading straight at him at 140 km/h. As soon as I saw him I instinctively dodged. Everyone fell about inside and woke up. Passed him harmlessly and we drove on. The car didn't even go out of control. I guess the moral of the story is there are often other options than dumb ideas. (Ramming people, really? What if bloody mangled mess comes through your windshield? Second moral of the story is to learn to drive better and maintain your car
