That&#x27;s not equivalent.  We are talking about a vehicle that is programmed from the manufacture to do something.  The SUV driver is responsible for his&#x2F;her actions.  When we are talking about a self driving car, we now have machines that decide what to do and killing the bystander tends not to be a sympathetic item in from of the jury.<p>As to the second part... I&#x27;m not sure how the software will judge the depth of the hoard to see if avoidance is a better answer than just pushing through.  Also, a couple of zombies could really mess up a Tesla versus a SUV or Jeep.  Zombie Apocalypse mode would be a much hard problem.
