Re: What does everyone think ? Are the cars unethical?

I also wonder how "down-stream impacts" might affect the algorithm. For example, what if hitting the SUV sends it off the side of a cliff, or into oncoming traffic? What if the odds of creating a multi-car pileup are higher with one side versus the other? I think any algorithm that is designed to minimize damage and loss of life is going to be the best ethical choice we can make.
