People can’t solve a trolley problem either while driving (or at all).
If you have enough time to stop if say a kid just jumped in front of you you will stop, if you don’t you don’t have enough time to process all the information around you and gauge the most optimal outcome if you swerve you swerve but that is likely going to happen regardless of what jumps out in front of you simply because that what your instincts are telling you to do.
The best thing an autonomous vehicle can offer is a better response time so you’ll be more likely to stop or to slow down to non/less than fatal velocity.
- throwaway2048 8y agoNobody is saying people have solved it either, I am saying that the question is at best a distraction.
- dogma1138 8y agoYeah it’s a complete distraction, even if you were living in some dystopian world where each car could ping everyone around it to gauge their citizen score and select the lowest score citizen to run over in this Kobayashi Maru scenario your cars would be much safer if they didn’t waste CPU cycles on this nonsense but rather just focus on the road. Drivers are drivers doesn’t matter if it’s humans or robots distracting them with nonsense wouldn’t make them better or safer but rather quite the opposite.
