In light of this, I think the whole point of the article is maximized. A couple of extremely rare fatalities every few years (hell, even every MONTH) are nothing compared to the carnage and hell we would be avoiding by removing humans as drivers. Until you can make a case that those two types of carnage are even comparable in numbers (which is unlikely), talking about trolleys and who to hit in case of an accident should indeed be reserved for freshman year ethics classes. Note, it's not even an interesting enough ethical problem to make it past Ethics 101 (sort of like, "Will you steal medicine to cure your dying family member?").
