re: Self-driving cars: ethics and economic concerns

The job stuff is interesting just to note as a prediction, but it's the ethical stuff that I really think is an actual problem. It's almost beyond dispute that the "ethical" choice between killing the driver or, say, 20 people in a crowd he is about to plow into is simple - kill the driver. But will you really buy a car that is programmed to make that decision with you as the driver?

There is no ethical dilemma. Autonomous vehicles do not use rule-based thinking.. they use machine learning. The trolley problem is a tool used for philosophy not for programming "morality" into an autonomous vehicle. We'll have fully automated vehicles in less than 5 years.. the technology exists today.

But even knowing my car could do that, I'm choosing to buy the car 10 out of 10 times. If we're talking truly autonomous cars, the risk of me dying in a car crash will go down exponentially, so I'd be giving myself a much better chance to survive, even if my car may one day choose to not save me as the driver.

I think it's MIT that's been running the ethical quiz.
