Unless you paid extra for the level-2 protection package. Then the network has to select a level-1 vehicle to go over the edge.

That really is a terrifying thought if you follow it. It won't be so blatant. Probably more like "everyone knows that Volvo AI's get in way less fatal crashes than "cheaper" Chevy AI's".

Considering human nature, I don't think I can imagine a way where this won't happen on some level or another.

The network so awful it can't prevent fatal crashes on bridges but so awesome it can pick who dies when they happen.

A child runs into the street. The only place to swerve is into a few senior citizens. The kid's dead, right? Obviously the seniors have seniority, you must Respect Your Elders, and their estates can pay for much better attorneys that a grieving young couple can. I just wonder if the software will be smart enough to know that.
