So the scenarios change each time. Like the first time I took it, it was just the barrier or the crosswalk. The second time through I got questions where its people crossing illegally vs legally. Which at first I was, well, go down the path where the car has the right of way according to the light. But then there were questions where it was criminals or animals crossing legally vs like children or pregnant ladies crossing illegally.
So that did cause the evaluation preferences at the end to fluctuate. Like the first couple times through, I showed a preference for traffic law over the average, like why should the car swerve and kill its occupants for someone who shouldn't have been in the street in the first place? But another time I tried, the scenarios I got ended up having me choose to save the people crossing illegally more often than previous due to their makeup. Like a bunch of criminals in the car vs kids. Of course, I wish it was more granular. Are these "criminals" in the middle of a crime, or are they people with extensive criminal records (or worse, people that "look" like criminals) but aren't currently committing a crime?
So far my most consistent pick throughout is a preference of humans vs animals.
TV commentary:
Criminal Minds- Heartbreaking ep. And interesting, given what I was just talking about above. ( spoiler cut )
Frequency- Haven't seen this yet, but one of the biggest changes from the movie is that the characters are changed from Mets fans to Yankees fans. Of course, I guess since the timeline was also moved up from 1969/1999 to 1996/2016, they couldn't do the whole son telling the dad about the 69 World Series.
Arrow- Heh, I thought they were caught up from the past? ( spoiler cut )
