Profound Thoughts

in a Zombie apocalypse, future Pedestrian crash avoidance systems would make cars useless as weapons against them.
Hopefully we can talk our lawmakers into legislating a Zombie Apocalypse button on the dashboard that'll disable that function. I just hope they televise the debate for this law...

It would make more sense to develop software to let the car detect and react to characteristics of un-death (smell, appearance etc.), so that they could not only be useful in a worst case Zombie scenario, but also serve as vigilant proactive measures against random stray Zombies, keeping Zombie numbers down and thus postponing or preventing full apocalypses.

An entirely uncrewed vehicle programmed to run down and destroy zombies would seem to be a valuable asset for non-zombie humans in a zombie apocalypse scenario.

I mean, it's no chainsaw, but it's a pretty good option nonetheless.

But then it's only effective in a particular sort of Zombie Apocalypse. What if they're mindless but not undead zombies? Or mind-controlled? Or aliens!

Or the other side, who wants to be going home after a long day and suddenly the car swerved to take out four med students halfway through a prank with a cadaver...?

Is there some point to preserving the lives of perverse college students playing jokes with dead bodies? And you'd still get home on time - how long can a simple swerve take?
