Tell me which one doesn't and I'll buy that one. Sorry other hypothetical people.

It won&#x27;t be decided by philosophy or ethics. It will be decided by law. Any company that sells a car that kills its driver will be sued to oblivion. Also, nobody will buy it.<p>And this isn&#x27;t some mind puzzle. The first software for the first generations of self-driving cars will have to code something. What will they code?

I believe the First Law would require that it save that maximum number of persons.

Nope, the job of the car should be to protect the occupants.
