Can they be trained to either protect the driver or, say, pedestrians in case of imminent collision?
Are they being fed fed trolley problems?

@StroomAfwaarts @sweetenthestreets @joelle @StroomAfwaarts I'm actually not convinced that trolley problems are relevant. No car driver has done any pre-thinking about these issues. They don't usually happen. In the typical case, a car driver sees a problem they don't want to hit/worsen and hits the brakes or evades into a nearby lane without checking. It sucks but that's emergencies for you.
