Them programming for “unexpected” situations is not quite what is being talked about though.
The above scenarios are great, but I like the one Mercedes got in a little trouble for “is the cars priority your saftey or is it other people’s? You bought the expensive car, it should protect you first”, gets into a trolley problem pretty quickly.
I don’t. Basically someone high up in that division made the claim in some venue that of course your $80,000 car is going to put your security first, and it was a bit of an issue. I don’t remember if it was an internal Diamler event or a media snafu.
There is a logical answer though. He’s right. Each car is going to look out for itself primarily. They have to. No car is going to have a “sacrifice” mode.
