See the pictures in this article to understand a bit more: www.theverge.com ![[image loading]](https://cdn0.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/Y4m_hl4JB4Kw27jXPNVaGQO3S8E=/800x0/filters:no_upscale()/cdn0.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/6912205/Screen%20Shot%202016-08-09%20at%2011.43.01%20AM.png) Now, my question. Can you use this to kill people? 1) take a group of people, position yourself next to a pedestrian crossing. 2) your target (a single person) starts crossing the road. 3) a self driving car is passing by, about to pass behind your target. 4) Everyone in your group throws themselves into the road just in front of the self driving car. 5) The car can't break. Going too fast. 6) It now has to choose between hitting everyone in your group, or the single person ahead of you: your target. 7) The self driving car will most likely make the call to swerve and hit your target. Could we be sentenced in court for a murder like that? Does the car or drivier (well, passanger...) hold any responsibility? | ||

I don't think someone's thoughts are complex enough to be fallacious when they're getting their tongue and fingers cut off.

First of all I think that moral machine is completely useless as anything more than a psychological game, and not at all representative of problems that a self driving car would face. Second of all it's clearly murder. The self-driving car doesn't change anything. It's basically the same thing as pushing someone in front of a car (proving intent to harm might be harder). | ||

What goes on in someones head while being mutilated probably shouldn't be classified as logical fallacies. Not because of lack of fallacies, but because of lack of logic. Maybe it will help contain them afterwards though? | ||

Nothing. Yay for math education. It got 2 people who understands Pythagoras on a website populated by nerds. I think we should take epishade's math problem to r/the_donald and watch their heads implode. | ||

If the robot doctor is at least as good as a human doctor in all aspects or distinctly better in some while not being a lot worse in the rest, yes. Currently robot doctors are not as good, and thus they are only assisting human doctors. The same is true with self-driving cars. If self-driving cars are safer than human-driven cars (which isn't that hard), i am fine with self-driving cars. They should also be a lot more comfortable and effectively win you a lot of time every day that you can now use for doing other stuff while driving.

I also think before they let these things loose in massive amounts on the streets, the technology behind it will be alot better in the sense that it'll be able to analyze motion on the sidewalks as well and change its driving behaviour according to that. So it's kind of a false dichotomy here. Also, what difference is there with a self driving car and a human driven car in this example? The human will have to make the same choice :S Edit for the legal part: I think the group should be held accountable for exploiting the car's software thereby killing the person in front of you. | ||

I see no reason why it would be impossible for a machine to make speculations based on evidence. Isn't that exactly what googles ad algorithms already do? I take a look at a starcraft site for nerds and some porn, and it guesses that might mean i might like asian mail order brides. Humans do that stuff based on experience. Which works quite well. But a global network of mechanical doctors can have A LOT more experience, and thus calculate that the current symptoms have x chance to be related to y illness, and thus you should have z diagnostic procedure done to make sure. | ||

If there's an AIDS outbreak among drug addicts in a region then the public health organization in the area can immediately respond with a public information campaign and a needle exchange, for example. By anonymizing data and presenting it in aggregate the efficiency of public health planning can be vastly improved. Hell, with a good enough computer it'd spit out "by the way, everyone is showing symptoms of low level lead poisoning, it doesn't look like much in any individual case but I compared the entire population to the population a decade ago and it's definitely there" in Flint years ago. They are also excellent for away missions in the Delta Quadrant. | ||

Judging self-driving cars shouldn't be made through single examples, because that's about as intelligent as saying "hey, drug X can't be given to pregnant women because of its side effects. Even though it is a very useful drug for literally everyone else, we really shouldn't consider it as a legit drug, right?" On October 12 2016 22:08 Gorsameth wrote: What? .... A self driving car at some point needs to make life/death decisions. That has to be handled. Where are you getting murder conspiracies from? Regular drivers have to make life/death decisions more often than not. Do we handle that? Judging by the number of people who drive 2 meters behind you even though you're doing 130 km/h, I don't think so. | ||

With self driving cars it's a completely different situation. There needs to be a system created that values different scenarios and decides upon the correct action and in doing so that system accepts liability for the outcome. If you have a tenth of a second to decide to hit a child or their grandpa you're not going to get judged, that's not even enough time to consider the choice. But the AI in the car isn't reacting on instinct, it's following programming coded by humans that had plenty of time to consider exactly how to resolve this situation. The programmers have to make a conscious choice, telling it which one to hit. There are various different moral strategies the design could employ, from maximum good to protect the driver at all costs and everything in between. But in any of them you remove the element of accident from it, there is a conscious choice of who lives and who dies being made by the people creating the strategy, and that's very difficult terrain. If there were two cars for sale with different self driving programming, one that was programmed to kill you if it was the least bad option, one programmed to always try to save you, which one would you buy? And if you bought the one that saved you are you accepting responsibility for the potential to mow down a family because they're softer than a wall, should that happen? | ||
