More Equal than Others:
Ethics of Autonomous Vehicles

Ice cold is the mind that must design the artificial intelligence behind self-driving cars. How do we program these autonomous machines to react to ethical dilemmas on the road?

A car is fast approaching a tunnel entrance when its braking mechanism fails, a child has tripped and is lying across the tunnel. Should the car be designed to move forward and kill the innocent child or swerve into the tunnel wall and kill the innocent driver? Should the engineers program the car to choose based on age, health, or number of victims?

A delightful Talmudic foray into dangerous terrain.
