To make us all safer, robocars will sometimes have to kill. More accurately, they will have to electronically decide who will live and who won't. And the "won't" may turn out to be the guy or gal who bought it.
Maybe car makers will have to bring on philosophers to discuss Utilitarianism and help them find a way to program it in.
If they'd ever get off their duffs and give me the flying car I was promised 60 years ago, we'd not have to face this mess.
