I participated in a trolley problem test (probably found a link to the test here) a few months back. The point of the test was to determine my ethical biases about how many and which people to kill based on age, sex, fitness, etc. I found the results meaningless because I don't gauge which action to take based on classifications like age, sex, or societal function. I gauge my actions on total number of lives taken, and which move was the least asshole move to take. If I'm in a certain lane, and I'm guaranteed to kill 3 people in either lane, I stay in my assigned lane because it's an asshole move to switch lanes just because I think [blank] about the people in front of my car. I stay in my lane, kill the same number of people, and deal with the consequences. Plus driving at any speed, I don't think I can see category well enough to make decisions, except perhaps for babies in buggies that are so visually different. Even then the buggy cart could be filled with junk. So the least asshole move is to stay in my assigned lane and kill the people in front of me. Although I might try to avoid a baby in a buggy / obvious small child because that is one distinction I'd be guaranteed to see at most speeds.
