I still have no interest in a car that drives itself, which to me is like a self-licking ice cream cone. But I know I'm in the minority.

Have you guys been following the discussions about how cars should be programmed in terms of choosing what/who to hit when collisions are unavoidable?
There is still so much shit to figure out.
Assuming the threshold has been crossed that autonomous cars are good enough that they should be allowed to be used in the market, is it best to push the technology out before ethics and regulations catch up?
Does anyone want to sit on the jury for the first case of a manufacturer being sued when a baby gets hit in a crosswalk and the car chose to mow them down rather than swerve into oncoming traffic and risk the driver?
