Google car can be worse at solving ethical dilemmas if it can avoid more accidents in the first place, IMHO.

Just a thought, the car uses information from a rotating laser system on the roof to detect objects on the road, what happens in fog, rain or snow. (do they know about snow in California?)
The meek shall inherit the Earth, the rest of us will fly to the stars.

Never underestimate the power of very stupid people in large groups

Arguing with an engineer is like wrestling with a pig in mud ..... after a while you realise that the pig likes it!

I am as confident that driverless cars is the wave of the future as I am of Google fucking it up and thus becoming a negligible foot note in the progress towards that goal.
