On an airplane, the pilot has skin in the game. If he screws up, he will pay with his own life.
What happens to the developers/manufacturers of a driverless car that kills a passenger or a pedestrian?
- kaycebasques 2y agoI thought we were talking about the feeling of powerlessness? Still seems like an apples-to-apples comparison in that regard. > how do you overcome the slight powerless feeling
- rglullis 2y agoI don't have any "feeling of powerlessness" when I am on a plane, or a taxi, or a bus or train or a boat, because I believe that whoever is conducting those vehicles have interests aligned with mine: to get safely and uneventfully to the end of the journey. There is no such alignment on a driverless car, plane or boat. No engineer or executive will get punished in case the car gets double parked, let alone if it runs over a pedestrian crossing the street.
