If you whip it sideways you might be able to get them both
Good thinking, Agent.
Buncha Jordan Petersons in these comments. "I simply wouldn't find myself in this moral dilemma to begin with" lmao
Solution: Never touch Tesla! Confused as to what is so fucking hard about that?
this car's a lost and blinded fool...oh no I've said too much. I said it all.

New trolly problem just hit!
We should probably frame all of lifes choices as trolley problem models. Speaking of which I'd like to proudly nominate now that our next president be Mr Shia Le Bouf, with carrot top as his VP. The two are obviously better than a third term for trump and couchfucker Vance, and we have to think of harm reduction. Do you want Shia or Trump?
If 75 million people are pulling the lever towards Shia, 75 million people are pulling the lever towards Trump, and 2 million are trying to divert it to a third track, then I'm helping pull it towards Shia
Just brake
"Sorry, but your brake subscription has expired."
Also, that would require a Tesla's systems to function, which is not a guarantee.
trolley problem says there is never any sort of third choice. You have to hit one. Which is why it works so well in political discusisons. Politics becomes not the 'art of the possible', but the art of holding your nose and doing what you are effing told.
So we are hitting the old lady then, right?
It's not about "doing what you are effing told," it's about taking the action that will most likely lead to the least harm. Like, the resurrected corpse of Karl Marx would obviously make for a better president than either the resurrected corpse of Adolf Hitler or the resurrected corpse of George Washington, but if Zombie Hitler is anticipating 75 million votes, Zombie Washington is anticipating 75 million votes, and Zombie Marx is anticipating 2 million votes, you would be a fool to vote Zombie Marx
I think you massively discount the harm caused by allowing any zionist to win. What we need to tell our party leadership -- at all costs-- is if they push a zionist on us they cant win.
You get what you demand and you encourage what you tolerate. We cant tolerate genocide support within our own party as some sort of political calculation.
Again, if 150,000,000 people are voting for a zionist anyway, then voting for the non-zionist doesn't help anyone. The best you can hope for is the slightly less harmful zionist. The only way you can not allow any zionist to win is if you do something really cool that I'm not allowed to recommend
You must understand that the average american likes Israel, and so any party that stops supporting israel may gain your vote, but they will lose many more
oh... anyway
Déjà vu!
I've just been in this place before
Higher on the street
And I know it's my time to go
if you drift you could hit both
I still remember one of the questions on my written driving test from almost 30 years ago. It was something like:
A group of pedestrians start crossing the road in front of you, just as the light turns green for you. What do you do?
- Honk your horn and yell at them.
- Nothing, just wait for them to finishing crossing.
- Rev your engine to scare them into crossing faster.
- Hit one to teach the rest a lesson.
I was so tempted to pick the last option.
A, C, and D in that order.
…getting ready for the impact. And I don't know if I can do it…
why is that baby not on a leash!
My truck is lifted so that I can safely cruise over all the babies in the road. Just gotta keep them between the tires.
Trying to hit all two
But I don't know if I can do it
It's like bowling, if you hit one pedestrian at just the right angle you can knock them into the other
Pull the emergency brake, spin the wheel, and drift. You got this.

There should realistically be an option for driving off the road into the trees.
or not speeding in the first place
Ideally the speed limit should be set such that it would always be possible to stop in time at such crossings. Even more ideally the road would be designed such that it would be impossible to exceed that limit.
Unfortunately there are many places where this is not the case.
They pretend they do this in France and let cars and worse, panel vans, park 0-10m from the crossings, the law says minimum 5m away, since most towns aren't compliant there's a date they have to be compliant by: keeps getting pushed back because no one gives a shit and no one scrapes off the lines marking the parking spots.
