I too wonder about the choice of running into a bus of children or driving off a cliff. It presupposes that the car will get into that situation in the first place (which I have heard argued as unlikely) but when it does, what does it do. If it chooses to kill the occupants (drive off the cliff) then the vehicle manufacturer faces a wrongful death suit, if it hits the bus full of kids (and maybe injures&#x2F;kills some) then its the bus driver&#x27;s liability (we&#x27;re assuming that if the bus were driving in a safe, predictable way the car won&#x27;t have to make this choice).<p>So the manufacturer decides, take out the bus, we don&#x27;t want to be liable. But the human occupant might have decided differently. There is at least a twilight zone episode in there. Asimov plowed the conundrum often in his robot series and it was one of the reasons I really enjoyed those books.
