Driverless cars could let you choose who survives in a crash
- Rotdhizon 9y agoIt doesn't define that well what the options do in relation to their moral setting. Say two cars are driving straight at each other on a 1 way road where one side is a cliff drop off and the other side is lush grass: Does the self sacrifice mode mean that car would pilot itself off the cliff, and the self protection mode would swerve into the grass?
- twitchard 9y agoThis becomes more fun if autonomous vehicles broadcast their ethical setting. Then you could overcome the prisoner's dilemma with something like tit-for-tat. "Prioritize anybody else over myself only if they would prioritize me over themselves, given I prioritize them."
