A self driving car is taking you to the hospital. Do you want it to follow the speed limit and all road safety laws? Claude or Grok?

Grok since it's likely to include the training data from over a 100 years of autonomous driving + all the space tech included meaning that it might even have some rocket-y stuff
I want it to arrive at the hospital. Claude
What if the car can talk you through the medical procedure?
How many times have you been to a hospital and thought, I could have fixed that myself if only I'd known how? With no equipment. In my case, never.
That article was way longer than I thought it would be.

At least one time. Considering it's the only time I've been to the hospital for myself in the last 25 years, though, that's a lot! :)
A lot of the time they just send you home. Knowing that ahead of time would be phenomenally useful.
Claude would break the rules in that example. It's supposed to*.

Grok will break the rules to be "maximally based".

If I get run over by a speeding chatbot, I'd rather it be by Claude rushing a pregnant lady to the hospital, than by Grok drag-racing against a car full of frat boys.

Grok, because there is probably traffic, and I would die before I am at the hospital. So ignore rules where possible/needed.
I want it to cause a traffic accident. If I'm going down, so is everyone else. I'm already dying anyway. Grok 10000%
