"If we're going to convince people to sacrifice themselves for people
around them, we need to do so through moral suasion, not by designing
murdercars that come with factory installed,
I-can't-let-you-do-that-Dave DRM."

Why the "trolley problem" doesn't really make sense for self-driving cars.

Cheers,

self driving electric cars only make sense if there's ex-drivers to stop them
when they go rouge ;)
