    Can Self-Driving Cars Make Ethical Decisions?

    Who will live and who may die? Can AI in the form of self-driven automobiles make these driving decisions?

    Would your self driving car hit the child chasing it's ball in the street or swerve and possibly injure itself (THE CAR - PRIME DIRECTIVE?), the car's occupants and/or other drivers?

    The opposing argument is there will be a net gain as there will be fewer vehicular/pedestrian accidents ...

    Do you agree with a AI machine deciding your destiny?

    Isn't this the premise of iRobot?

      I dunno, but the cartoon from the link makes it look like he is using the car as a toilet

        Many times the drunk driver survives and passengers die. Human instinct
