RE: Steem Basic Income Giveaway (Automation and the Trolley Problem )

  1. Yes I would throw the switch to save the 5 people, but at the same time I would be screaming at the top of my lungs and then running towards the one to get them to move.
    2)Yes, with the same response as above. I would also concider throwing myself in front of the trolley to attempt to save the child.
    3)No I would not sacrifice a friend if I'm not willing to sacrifice myself. As far as the most evil person on earth is concerned, I may if I thought it would save other lives.
    4)No, Because I really don't trust AI in cars just yet, and I definitely don't trust the corporations that make the cars.
    5)No, because I would not sacrifice others to save myself. Also see the answer to question 4.

Haha, yes, another answer to the first two questions that shows we will do our very best to come out with 100 percent no casualties!

The scenario requires making split second decisions in a highly stressful and literally life or death situation for the people involved. All you can do is hope you would react in your ideal way. As you wrote in an earlier reply, you won't know how you would truly react unless you actually experience the situation.
