On: Moral Machine

[JoeAltmaier]

People buy cars all the time, now, that kill their drivers.

[JoshTriplett → JoeAltmaier]

The drivers typically feel they have control and agency in their driving, though.

Couldn't that be simulated to fool people into thinking the same thing about autonomous vehicles?

[sesqu → alexmat]

It should be enough to show people that autonomous cars get into significantly fewer accidents. It's quite contrary to fooling them with agency, but it does support the safety-seeking choice of an autonomous vehicle over a manual one.

[DonHopkins → JoshTriplett]

A moral self driving car should give the passenger the choice of who to kill.
