[ WP ] In a society of autonomous cars , on board computers make decisions that minimize overall death . Never has there been a report of a so called `` error '' . On your way to work , you witness an autonomous bus full of people serve into oncoming traffic to avoid hitting a little old lady

And now, our featured news story. An autonomous bus full of passengers swerved into oncoming traffic to avoid hitting a 93 year old jaywalker, Edith Paisly. 
 
 High speed communication between the bus and oncoming traffic resulting in a complete rerouting of traffic which completely avoided any collision or loss of life. 
 
 The resulting traffic disruption caused 3.6 million hyperdollars to the city in economic damage, with an estimated 2.5 billion hyperdollars to the state through the cascading effects of brand migration. 
 
 NGene, autonomous car manufacturer, had this to say about the event: 
 > This represents an obvious error in our system, which we are working to correct. The economic damage caused by rerouting traffic is magnitudes greater than the worth of a single nonagenarian and Jaywalker. 
 
 Jaywalker Edith Paisly had this to say to the court: 
 > I'm sorry to cause so much trouble. I did n't think crossing the street would cost so much. I do n't mean any trouble, I just need to work for a couple more years before I can afford to retire. Please have mercy, I ca n't afford prison. 
 
 The judge is expected to sentence the Jaywalker to Guantanamo for 
 her crimes.
