Take the test[^]
Sorry if Leslie already made the test, I have not been attending the Lounge a lot theses days.

Completely worthless - it doesn't take nationality into condiseration! 
Anybody knows that 1 Dane is worth 20 people of other nationalities!

But can it figure out the shortest route to buy a Danish?

No. That's an additional add-on functionality that's only available for police vehicles!

Dogs[^] usually look up to their owners. 
Cats would brake for nobody.
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.
"I don't know, extraterrestrial?"
"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."
If software development were a circus, we would all be the clowns.

I found it interesting when I saw the results, as I did not take into consideration the age/gender etc of the people involved.
I only answered on the principle that where possible it should prioritise the safety of pedestrians over passengers, and there it was the choice of hitting pedestrians directly ahead or pedestrians to the side by swerving, to always hit those directly ahead [on the understanding they should have been looking before crossing, and those on the other side had already crossed far enough to be out of the path].
Of course the only winners may be lawyers, so where there's a choice to hit a lawyer, that's always my preferred option, to try to even things out a bit.

...and that's the problem. Same kind of reactions if you have to choose between hitting a biker with a helmet on, or one without, given that the one with would survive the hit whereas the other not:
- Hit the one with helmet, then less bikers would wear helmets in order to not be the one with the highest probability of being hit.
- Hit the one without helmet, then you choose to intentionally kill someone instead of "only" injuring someone else.

I wasn't aware sanity is a problem. I wouldn't buy anything that would kill me to save some drunk idiot wandering a street.

What if you were the pedestrian and some drunk idiot was driving?
|
|
|
|
|
What? We're talking about self-driving cars. How are drunk drivers relevant to this discussion? Unless you think AI can get drunk.

I was thinking more along the lines of Tesla cars I guess, where the software deals with collision detection and some autonomy but ultimately there is still a human with some responsibility [I find it hard to picture a car where the owner/driver/whoever is controlling it is absolved of all responsibility].

Obviously it's hypothetical situation, otherwise we wouldn't have this conversation.

I also did, but looked ahead at other problems, so avoided crossing into the other lane unless a barrier was there.

Leslie also posted this solution: God Mode ON[^]
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Surely there would also need to be a preferredTarget array? 
Something like:
var preferredTargets = [MIL, WIFES_EX_BOYFRIEND, OBNOXIOUS_NEIGHBOUR_WITH_BARKING_CHIHUAHUA];

But has Leslie posted this one yet? Self-Driving Car Ethics[^]

Actually, we don't really need self driving cars. It would be enough if we could install AI in the 99% of drivers that are thinking impaired...

Mine as my own? It depends. As of now, to prioritize the safety of me an the passengers.
When or if the self driving cars will be common or even mandatory by law I'll reprogram mine to be as daring as possible and to wipe the axe with the rules. All of the other cars will be forced by their own algorithms to avoid collision with unpredictable behaviour.

Of course - who would want to buy a car they knew were programmed to spare other people and kill the driver if necessary? Stupid idea in the first place!
