No worries mate. I'm not butthurt in the slightest, and I truly didn't mean to be anything other than friendly.

Just so it's clear, I agree 100% with this :

    There are real problems with autonomous vehicles and their implementation. Focusing on this one draws attention away from them.

However - I believe this issue IS worth discussing (and not dismissing), because sooner or later the google boffins WILL need to decide what autonomous cars will do when faced with "the trolley problem"; regardless of the iffy journalism that got us on this track in the first place.
