The thing about the trolley problem is that it contemplates only the switch and the track immediately beyond.

The thing about track is that it can run for as long as one has ground to cover.

And there's no guarantee of a switch anywhere outside of frame.

But you can be sure there are more people tied down—that's a given.

Also, this ain't a runaway trolley. Is operating as designed; with purpose.

If your attention's on the switch, you're not paying attention.
