This is a great point. Imagine if you&#x27;re driving manually going 20 on slippery ice, and a child slips and falls off the pavement into the road in front of you. The car, for whatever reason, does not &quot;see&quot; the child. You decide you don&#x27;t have enough stopping distance, so your response is to steer the car off the road or into another car. But then some &quot;safety feature&quot; decides to stop you from doing that, and hits the child instead.<p>The fallout would probably result in a multi-decade setback for (semi-)autonomous cars.
