That is when the car explodes.

I say that partially tongue in cheek, but anything AI will have to make some moral judgments based on what bias the manufacturer will choose to give it. In case of an impending collision, will saving a human life inside or outside the car always win out over other species? Or damage to a structure that might cost millions to repair? I would not bet on it.

It is no secret that millions of workers will be permanently displaced by robots in the next few decades. California has already been experimenting with a "guaranteed basic income" for residents in Stockton, California. I'm sure the elites who are driving this move to implement their version of utopia have bigger plans for all the "useless eaters".
