    There’s a fiction short story I ran across about this future. It is an anthropomorphized conversion between the AI on each of the two cars on a collision course. The whole story takes place inside of a second or two of “human” elapsed time. A crash is unavoidable, but one car is presenting an argument that each car should change course slightly so the least amount of damage is done to each. The other car is arguing that because his car pays for premium insurance, the other car should change more drastically to minimize the damage to his car. However, that action would result in the death of that other driver.
