What are you gonna do when a car goes rogue and murders somebody?
- ajross 5y agoThat's a new one to me. You're arguing that we can't allow autonomous systems in our society because when they have bugs that cause problems... there isn't a moral actor who we can punish? Do you feel the same way about your gas furnace or the autopilot of the last airliner you flew on?
- josephcsible 5y agoWhen a drunk driver causes an accident, you can arrest them and keep them from driving anymore, but this doesn't stop anyone else from driving drunk. With self-driving cars, you fix the bug that caused the accident and deploy it to the whole fleet, so none of them will ever make the same mistake again.
