Repeat after me: All AI's are guilty until proven innocent. I've been saying this (and getting downvoted) for years: AI is a tool. It is no different from any other tool in that the person using it is responsible for whatever it does. If something happens when an AI is involved, it should be presumed to be at fault. And thus the user of the AI is also presumed to be at fault. This comes into play specifically with the "child in the middle of the road" scenario. At some point our vehicles will become good enough to make actual life and death decisions. Does it swerve into a tree, into oncoming traffic, or take out the child? The only moral, ethical and practical answer is: An AI should choose to harm its user rather than anyone else, because there can never be 100% certainty that the AI did not make a mistake. You choose to use Tesla autopilot and it kills someone? You are responsible. Period. Feel free to sue Tesla for selling you a faulty tool, but you're still culpable for it's use.
