In the past, autonomous vehicle development dwelled on the ethical hypothetical situations like "do you hit an old lady crossing the road in order to avoid crashing into a schoolbus full of children?", but what about safety hypotheticals? Like, if you were actually driving your vehicle, there are moments when it's in your best interest to not be at a stop, such as when people are physically surrounding your car and potentially mean to cause you harm, which is extremely common in America. When does the driverless car get you out of a tight spot and run over some carjackers if need be?
Edit: To respond to everyone saying I'm full of shit, and that carjackings aren't common, there were more than 500 carjackings in NYC alone in 2021. New Orleans had 281 in 2021. 800 carjackings in Philly in 2021. 1800 carjackings in Chicago in 2021. Tell me, is that not enough carjackings to warrant asking my question?
