The trolley problem

This is stupid.

"The Moral Machine took that idea to test nine different comparisons shown to polarize people: should a self-driving car prioritize humans over pets, passengers over pedestrians, more lives over fewer, women over men, young over old, fit over sickly, higher social status over lower, law-abiders over law-benders?"

How does the car know women vs men, young vs old, fit vs sickly, higher social status over lower, law-abiders over law-benders?

Any self driven car would be able to avoid hitting the many/few, young/old, etc. by stopping.

It's a hypothetical.

Do you also think Schroedinger's Cat is stupid?

How would a human driver know all that?

If you suddenly found yourself in that position, what would you do?
