That was part of spec of the traction/break of a vehicle I worked on.
Passagers life was prioritized as the premise behind the decision was : "Outside the vehicle is an unknown, we don't know if it's a human, an animal, an object ; we know that inside we have human life (at least the driver, at most the hundred of passengers), so we give priority to what we know)
- sorokod 5y agoSome interesting moral questions can be asked about this setup. The most basic one, if indeed the outside is unknown to your product, are you a moral person developing it.
- ashtonkem 5y agoThat sounds bad. Yes, you know that there’s a person in the car, but you also know that if the object in front of you is a person then they are multiple orders of magnitude more likely to be killed than the occupants. You have to weigh the uncertainty and the disparity of outcomes. Sounds like a continuation of the automotive trend that pretends like the only person whose life matters is the occupant.
