I love how this "thought experiment" proposes that your autonomous car is going so fast around blind corners that it's overshooting its braking distance. Let's rephrase the question, shall we?

"Should you buy an autonomous car so irresponsibly designed that it can practice reckless driving thereby involving you, the manufacturer and the highway authority in a joint criminal tort involving negligent homicide?"

I'm gonna go ahead and solve that one by inspection, thanks.
