Give it a few years and these fucking smart cars bs will be like "In case of a collision between our customers, we'll always prioritize our deluxe plus superstar subscriber and kill the dirty peons who didn't pay for premium by sending them into a ditch at full speed!"

They say one of the big issues with full self drive is the morality of who the vehicle 'chooses' to kill in the event of an unavoidable incident.

But what they are forgetting, is regardless of whether it's grandma, a baby or the local nuns our for a walk, I'm never spending money on a car that will actively decide to kill me!
