Ethical question leaves potential buyers torn over self-driving cars
- dekhn 10y agoI keep seeing articles about these ethical questions. Nobody who buys these cars really cares if they don't solve hard ethical problems in sub-millisecond times. The people who design the cars don't need to solve these problems. People will buy Self-driving cars once they pass a reasonable level of safety for all concerned, while not requiring the user to ever take the wheel, because convenience trumps safety once safety passes a certain threshold. And those safety levels will not involve rare ethical dilemmas. Once there are millions of self-driving cars with billions of hours of drive time we'll still see scare articles about this every time a car causes people to die. People will still experience FUD from these articles. But, they'll vote with their dollars and snatch these vehicles up.
