RE: The Moral Dilemmas of Self Driving Cars

in #technology7 years ago

This reminds me of the famous Trolley Problem, once a tought experiment, now a reality.
There is still much debate around this topic.
In any case, the use of self-driving cars will inevitably reduce the number of incidents on the road.
That's already a "win"situation.

Sort:  

Oh yes, the 90% reduction in road accidents that experts are estimating are already a huge win. The debate that is ongoing is related to the rare situations where the car will have to choose which life to spare. But yes, overall, the self driving cars will save a lot of lives.
