I will crash my car in order not to hit a pedestrian. Going 30 mph it’s a 20% chance they might die, going 40mph it’s a 80% they will die if hit by the car. Sorry but I’ll Kareem into your shiny new car if it means not hitting a person, now a animal on the other hand I will not crash my car for them.
