One Response to The Trolley Problem (video)

    How about the angry mob problem? If an angry mob approaches your car with intent to harm, should you be able to force your autonomous car to run over and possibly kill people to get out of harms way? Would you think the same if it was a criminal in the car and police officers approaching?
