New technologies will always be in the minority while they are still new, but that's the right time to start trying to get them right. We, as technologists, can influence and inform the creation of autonomous driving algorithms (we aren't all kids in a basement, some of us are grown-ups with important jobs). We cannot change the way that people drive, that's one for legislators and psychologists.
And, the algorithm isn't written for you. It's written for the whole of the road-using population. No-one's going to write you an algorithm that makes your car aim for a group of fat people for a soft landing, sorry. And just how do you determine the person at fault in a fraction-of-a-second algorithm?
