re: #166 Political Atheist

Some polls have said we want autonomous cars. Did anyone consider the ethical issues? For example-In traffic at speed an accident starts to happen. The computer might have to choose between a mini, a school bus, and a garbage truck to swerve towards. A pedestrian steps out in the way on her cell phone, no time to stop only swerve. But what if traffic is in the way? What or who is making the possibly life and death choices?
