You are cordially invited to my trolley problem...
Flip the switch midway for a happy ending!! 🎉
Andreas Albrecht@catsalad Great! I thought the trolley problem had only two solutions. From now on I'll opt for the third!
Mathias Hasselmann@Datterich Unfortunately, this solution only works for trolleys with freely rotating bogies. Traditional trolleys often use simple two-axle chassis. Even more these simple two-axle designs seem to be popular again with modern ultra long trams like the Bombardier Flexity.
So, you're saying: "It depends"?
That's also a law students' answer to the trolley problem. ;-)
@Datterich Rather an engineer's answer... But actually, it's quite interesting how this third answer reveals that there is a whole universe of other answers.
@taschenorakel
In my StarTrek years, I would have come up with multiple universes of possible answers. :-D
Jeff Grigg@taschenorakel @Datterich @catsalad
So those would almost certainly derail -- flipping the trolly, inflicting serious injuries and likely deaths among the passengers.
