In an emergency, if the only options are taking time moving things out of the way or not being able to move, you move things out of the way.

GP’s point is that’s a false dichotomy.

Yes that’s the correct decision when those are the only options, like if a car has stalled or the driver just got out and ran away.

In this case there’s a third option: the computer that’s still perfectly functional should have been able to get out of the way on its own. And legally all drivers are required to.

I assume that applies to robots as well, if it doesn’t it absolutely should.
