    There are other ways to complete the trolley problem without using a trolley

    Boulders? Old refrigerators? Wild bear? Runaway car? A freight train? Industrial machinery?

    Just use your imagination

      Tech bros killed public transit and now it’s the Cybertruck problem. If you know that autopilot automatically shuts off just before the collision and you’re going to take the blame anyhow, what do you do?

      It’s a trick problem, it just blows up and kills everyone.

        The only cybertruck fire I recall (I don’t follow the vehicle closely at all) was the one with a load of pyrotechnics in Vegas, where the truck’s battery didn’t even ignite

        Have any actually exploded? I think they have pretty large batteries so any fire would be pretty catastrophic

        (I get that it was a joke, it just spurred this thought)
