- imtringued 8y agoThe real trolley problem: [ ] Let self driving cars kill people during development but try to make it up by saving thousands of lives after they are perfected. (Uber) [ ] Make self driving cars extremely safe from the start but more people end up dying from manual driving because development takes longer. (Waymo)

It may be that the first option could have a death toll higher than what it would prevent - but the thing is, we don't know, it's an unknown, an assumption "it will be much better once everybody drinks the koolaid."
