quote:

The real hold up on driverless cars isn't technology � it's all of us

In May, the first death caused by Tesla's AutoPilot feature occurred. A man who was using the feature on a highway and reportedly watching a DVD while the car manned the road hit a truck and then crashed into a power pole.

The accident made global headlines. One article in Fortune got a passionate response from Tesla founder Elon Musk:

"Indeed, if anyone bothered to do the math (obviously, you did not) they would realize that of the over 1M auto deaths per year worldwide, approximately half a million people would have been saved if the Tesla autopilot was universally available," Musk wrote to Fortune.

While Musk's stat on car-related deaths may be accurate, the question looms: Will humans be forgiving of fatal crashes if they're caused by machines, rather than people?

Dixon thinks that question may be the biggest holdup when it comes to a driverless future.

"In probably 5 years, you�ll have autonomous cars that work as well as people, even in cities. But whenever there�s an accident with an autonomous car it�s headlined everywhere," Dixon says. "Even if you have the perfect computerized, autonomous vehicle, there are still going to be accidents because you�re interacting with the real world ... And then the question is: how does society deal with that? Do we accept the accidents, or are people just horrified by the idea of robots causing them? Meanwhile, humans are texting and they�re drunk and all sorts of things. But we�re used to it."

Driverless cars, he adds, "require a different mindset. To me, that�s much harder to predict."

this question has already been studied and answered

https://www.technologyreview.com/s/542626/why-self-driving-cars-must-be-programmed-to-kill/

quote:

The participants were given scenarios in which one or more pedestrians could be saved if a car were to swerve into a barrier, killing its occupant or a pedestrian.

At the same time, the researchers varied some of the details such as the actual number of pedestrians that could be saved, whether the driver or an on-board computer made the decision to swerve and whether the participants were asked to imagine themselves as the occupant or an anonymous person.

The results are interesting, if predictable. In general, people are comfortable with the idea that self-driving vehicles should be programmed to minimize the death toll.

This utilitarian approach is certainly laudable but the participants were willing to go only so far. �[Participants] were not as confident that autonomous vehicles would be programmed that way in reality�and for a good reason: they actually wished others to cruise in utilitarian autonomous vehicles, more than they wanted to buy utilitarian autonomous vehicles themselves,� conclude Bonnefon and co.

And therein lies the paradox. People are in favor of cars that sacrifice the occupant to save other lives�as long they don�t have to drive one themselves.

quote:

Bonnefon and co say these issues raise many important questions: �Is it acceptable for an autonomous vehicle to avoid a motorcycle by swerving into a wall, considering that the probability of survival is greater for the passenger of the car, than for the rider of the motorcycle? Should different decisions be made when children are on board, since they both have a longer time ahead of them than adults, and had less agency in being in the car in the first place? If a manufacturer offers different versions of its moral algorithm, and a buyer knowingly chose one of them, is the buyer to blame for the harmful consequences of the algorithm�s decisions?�

the idea is a car has perfect situational awareness and isn't affected by emotion so it should be able to make the Correct choice

how you define Correct is an ethical problem

way to read the article guys

the point is: should the car should be able to make a utilitarian judgment to save the most lives, regardless of who's at fault? even if it means running over a pedestrian on the sidewalk instead of three in the road, or swerving off a cliff and killing the driver?
