89% percent chance to kill homeless person or 90% chance to kill pregnant woman?
> I don't see how attributes of the person would ever trump the probability of harm.
Maybe they shouldn't, maybe they should. How do we know? What are the terminal values? Society effectiveness? Or equality of all humans? Or minimizing public outcry in cases when autonomous car killed someone?
> The cases where probability is roughly equal for multiple actions will be incredibly rare.
With millions of autonomous cars on streets rare outcomes would happen all the time.

- brokenmachine 8y ago>89% percent chance to kill homeless person or 90% chance to kill pregnant woman? Just fat, or pregnant? We need to know! Get onto it, engineers! The car's algorithm for deciding this question is a matter of life or death! /s of course, because I think this whole philosophical argument about self-driving cars is ridiculous when our current tech can't even reliably determine if an object is a stationary barrier or not.
