Interesting link, thanks. I find this example pretty dumb though. There is a pedestrian crossing street on zebra crossing. Car should, oh I don’t know, stop?

Nevermind, read the description, car has a break problem. In that case try to cause least damage like any normal driver would.

Maybe it could scrape against the barriers to slow down without such a sudden stop for the passenger. IRL it’d depend on how well they’re lined up.

car is broken and cannot stop. otherwise it could just stop in every single one of the presented scenarios and the "moral dilemma" would be pretty boring
