free startup idea: trolley-solver-as-a-service.

integrate something like this with license plate data, property records, person recognition, and realtime location. when a self-driving automobile detects that it's out of control and unable to avoid imminent liability, it can make a cost-benefit analysis of each prospective casualty by querying an API that provides an avoidance score for each consumer and property in the vicinity. based on this score the client automobile will be able to identify a route of least liability. consumers may be encouraged to integrate with these services by assigning unidentified things a score of zero.




Don't give them ideas. Given the thing's we've been seeing, you just know some nepo-CEO somewhere will read this and think it is A) their idea, and B) brilliant.


Damn, that was harsh.
