I am saying that in that case, you are not a good position to assess public good vs. "your good". Any human being would instinctively take slightly better odds for the themselves at the risk of much worst odds for others. With this assumption, maybe the car should take that decision.
- kelnos 5y agoSo the correct course of action in this situation (being chased by a murderer) is to make a decision that 100% ensures the denied-driver's death, in order to prevent the possible, and probably unlikely death of an bystander due to said driver's likely emotionally-impaired driving? No, that's not ethical reasoning at all.
- jpambrun 5y agoIt's not what I said; I didn't bring up Jason the serial killer.. my point was that you can't ask people to judge balance to risk when it comes to them.. That said, the false-negatives of people really being chased by serial killers is probably worth it compare to all real victims of dangerous or drunk drivers that could be saved.
