Gee wiz, robotics and AI isn't so simple is it?

Not sure where to put this, but Science is what exonerated him so this seemed like as good a place as any.

I hope the piece of shit prosecutors who bring those type of cases to trial get liver cancer.

Nobody thought it would be simple. Google is trying to solve the whole shebang in one go, but most OEMs and tier1s are trying to just solve cruising on freeways. Tesla already rolled out their super-cruise system. Here's one preventing a really bad accident:
For a human driver this is a really bad corner case, because it's hard to see the vehicle through the head lights.

Yea, I mean I basically ended up with ACC and it's pretty handy, especially the crash avoidance features. It won't swerve because it's not full autopilot even though it does have lane-keeping so it technically could.
That said I have to chuckle when they're so full of themselves they're thinking about whether to sacrifice the consumer to save kids literally, lol.

Yeah that's pretty much the best way to kill self-driving consumer vehicles.
If it ever comes out that the AI was designed to choose for "the greater good" over the life of its owner, that whole industry will never get beyond self-driving delivery trucks and into the consumer market.

You guys are getting wrapped up in some very specific corner cases.
I know in my driver's ed the mitigation strategy to avoid nearly all collisions is to slam on your brakes. I imagine that's the planned directive for almost all crash-related scenarios.
I've personally avoided some nasty collisions through swerving, but the good thing about slamming on your brakes is that you really can't be blamed for your choice to slam vs swerve. But if you swerve, disaster can happen in unexpected ways.
And I say this as someone who has spent the last few years researching autonomous collision avoidance. There are some very cool things one can do to avoid collisions, but I'm betting this first generation of autonomous consumer vehicles will just detect an impending collision and slam the brakes.
