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

The resultant decision - an increased propensity for crashing into the Volvo - could ultimately result in increased cost to insure the Volvo, thus it does become much more than just harm avoidance. Also, if I am the person who chooses to own the Volvo, and more autonomous vehicles crash into me to avoid crashing into a less robust vehicle, them MY safety is more at risk now than it was previously.

This is a very interesting ethical situation.
