Fascinating question that I really don’t have an answer to. Algorithmic morality is going to be a hell of a problem.https://twitter.com/natbolton/status/657662951504015360 …
@mahalis Utilitarianism is harsh when you’re on the sharp end. But a car should minimize loss of life and I’ll bet my life on that assertion

@warrenm I agree. The article makes a good point, though: cars known to be capable of sacrificing their owners will slow adoption… (cont.)Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@warrenm …which means that in aggregate more people will die from sticking with the non-automated cars they perceive to be safer. -
@mahalis Over the short term. The steady state yields fewer fatalities as adoption becomes universal regardless of such hesitation. -
@warrenm I’m not convinced of the inevitability of universal adoption. Absent external pressure (e.g. insurance premiums), could well stall. -
@mahalis Insurance, commoditization and availability, legislation will supply enough motive force to get it done in our expected lifetimes. -
@warrenm Hope so—that’s a future I want to see. Still expecting it to take over commercial/gov’t applications well before consumer ubiquity.
