What or who must the self driving car miss at all cost?
In my previous POLL , I asked What or Who must the selfdriving car run over?. (Click on the link to see the previous Poll) Although this POLL is not completed, it seems that the cuddly puppy definitely is a dead dog!!
Today, I am doing the exact same POLL, but the question is changed to: Who or what must the self driving car miss at all cost? Thus we must say who should live at all cost, we have already determined who should be run over in this scenario.
The scenario is the same, the car must run over something / somebody it has no choice, who must the car avoid at all cost??
- Cute kitten
- Homeless person
- Pregnant lady
- Cuddly puppy
- Child playing on the pavement
- Drunk and dirty man
- Elderly person
- Beautiful girl

I think these can be some very dangerous questions to ask. I think asking these questions kill people. Cars kill a lot of people today, and I believe self driving cars will kill fewer people. -I mean the idiot on the road in front of me obviously doesn't know how to drive- I think a computer could do a better job than him. The problem is, these questions focus on the dangerous of self driving cars, not the benefits. With self driving cars, ambulances will be able to better coordinate a path to the hospital, cars, computers can react faster than humans (so in the unavoidable accident of a deer running out in the road, a computer could break faster than the human). And trucks could run at night when there is less traffic. I believe self driving cars will be safer than humans, and we need to adapt them earlier. About 30,000 people are killed via cars every year. I think self driving cars will be able to reduce this to significantly, To half to or one third of the current rate. That means for each year we don't have self driving cars, we effectively squash 15,000 people we could have otherwise saved. Now I know, that we don't replace all the cars each year, but I believe our legal wrangling, irrational concerns, and fears are holding up adaption of life saving technology. We need to think of self driving cars as an extension of the airbag and seatbelt safety system.
Thank you so much for both your very nice replies. I am actually not against self driving cars, like you rightly state there are a lot of benefits to them with safety, cost and even carbon emissions to name but a few. This poll is just about the moral dilemma facing the decision making of the AI. My poll is also far removed from a real scientific poll, it is just to illustrate the point. A human driver will most probably not even have the time to calculate and react on the possibilities given, and might swerve out to save an animal and in the process kill a human.

Adoption of self driving vehicles could have a major impact on the trucking industry. I would like to make a few predictions. Truck traffic may move onto the road system at night, when there is less congestion. This would free up roads in the daytime, allowing the trucks to move slower saving fuel, allow the trucks to avoid traffic, (saving fuel and money), allow us to build fewer new expensive interstates, (as we can get more vehicles on the roads), and make sure the trucks are driven in the most economical way possible. For several years I would expect self driving trucks to on convoy, where they can follow each other closely, (yet there is still one real truck driver for every say 5 trucks.)
