If a self driving car hits a school bus at high speed (despite braking), I'm pretty sure a lawyer will make a case that it could have avoided the school bus by driving up on the side walk which may or may not have had people on it.
I get your point, but I think it is probably more correct for people who are making a split second decision rather than for a car where the decision has already been made in code and someone (or some company) has to take responsibility for why it was made that way.

- kaba0 6y agoToday’s AIs are happy to correctly identify which lane they should be on - counting how many people are on a given vehicle is so way out of scope that there is no point continuing.
- ntsplnkv2 6y agoThis is a strawman. If the option is available to avoid collision with another car and it brakes instead, colliding and killing someone else, that will be a lawsuit and that lawsuit will easily win.
