I would definitely purchase the car that had been programmed for prioritizing my safety above other things. This is because the importance of the safety of the individuals sitting in my car including me is the most important aspect of possessing the car. If the car does not have the mechanism to protect me or any other individual sitting in the car, the car can be always considered to be dangerous for driving or riding. If the car is dangerous and there is low priority for safety and more priority for style, the car will be risky for the general public on the street. This is because the people on the street would be vulnerable to get injured or lose their lives whenever my car would be out on the street.
