It doesn't even have to be about people, you could have a trolley problem where you are about to run over and destroy the only USB drive with the cure for cancer.

Not a joke, just a thought experiment regarding morality and whether means or consequences matter more.

This uses catenary rather than trolley wire, so it should probably be a bit more reliable
