Ah, I was assuming OP was only calling Mercedes-Benz buyers heartless bastards, rather than all of humanity.

Also, I would, as would many other people. I think it's mostly a moot point, though: do you know of any trolly problem that's happened in real life? If something bad is happening, the car should probably just stop.
