In a market setting, people will buy the car that prefers killing others to killing its occupant I feel. This matches what human drivers instinctively do in the situation as well. Maybe there will be regulations in place mandating which decisions to make in scenarios like this, but otherwise I think the 'save yourself' option is the most likely outcome.
- foobarian 10y agoIn a market setting, once a car has sufficient sensing capability that it is possible to even write down an algorithm in code, there will probably be very little choice for the manufacturer to make once this goes through the legal dept/the courts/the insurers. If I were an automaker, I'd probably avoid the choice altogether and just stop the car. If the brakes failed, activate emergency brakes, or devise a new kind of emergency stop system; we can imagine extreme measures like jettisoning the wheels.
