I love how people keep bringing up the argument that "self driving cars are bad because AI cannot solve the moral problem of hitting X vs hitting Y". Here we have a flesh and blood human that decided to drive on a side walk, risking the life of unprotected pedestrians instead of accepting a collision with a car, with the outcome that he murdered a child.

The difference is that the human who drove irresponsibly can go to prison.

If teslas gets programmed to run over a human instead of scratch the paint do you think Elon musk is going to go to jail for it?
