Should your driverless car kill you if it means saving five pedestrians? [video]

Interesting point from the video:<p><i>In our survey, we did ask people whether they would support regulation and here&#x27;s what we found. First of all, people said no to regulation; and second, they said, &quot;Well if you regulate cars to do this and to minimize total harm, I will not buy those cars.&quot; So ironically, by regulating cars to minimize harm, we may actually end up with more harm because people may not opt into the safer technology even if it&#x27;s much safer than human drivers.</i>

&quot;<i>Should a driverless car kill its driver if it means saving the lives of your spouse and two children?</i>&quot;<p>I somehow get the feeling that the majority of people would give wildly contradictory answers to the two questions.
