It will be interesting to see the first time a car manufacturer gets sued for negligent homicide. The occupants of the car _can_ agree to a TOS that says the car will do its best to avoid killing pedestrians -- the pedestrians of course cannot (and why would they?) agree to said TOS. So from a liability perspective, I can't see this policy lasting long.
- vacri 10y agoYep - I don't want anything on the road that will prefer to kill me over its user who put it there. Perhaps a different way to spin this to the selfish: would you prefer to have only one vehicle on the road that would prefer killing you, or would you prefer every other vehicle on the road to prefer killing you.
- JumpCrisscross 10y ago> I don't want anything on the road that will prefer to kill me over its user Replace "user" with "self" and you have an expression against every other human with self-preservation instincts.
- vacri 10y agoBelieve it or not, people generally don't like killing other people, game theory be damned. Witness, for example, the US army having to develop particular training to reduce the 20%-odd soldiers who ended up just not firing their weapon at all when in action (no data on how many fired but intentionally mis-aimed).
