Have you ever played “moral machine?” It’s a decision based game that puts you in the placed of a self driving car, and you have to make the decision who to save in the case of a brake failure.

No I have not. It seems like a good experiment: the correct answer based on my driver’s ed class, and actual personal experience:

Switch into neutral this will prevent the gear shaft from spinning in response to the accelerator and engine, aim for a wall or barrier preferably impacting on the side as to not cause a front end collision or hitting pedestrians, if on a crowded street and can’t safely hit a wall or barrier aim for a semi-truck or large vehicle which plenty of crunch room.

I’m assuming it’s more of a pedestrian crosswalk choice game based off of the standard ethic/philosophy question: but I felt like giving some practical life advice as well. I’ll have to check it out.
