self driving cars and Asimov's Laws
    #22441104 - 10/27/15 05:18 PM (8 years, 3 months ago)

http://www.iflscience.com/technology/should-self-driving-car-be-programmed-kill-its-passengers-greater-good-scenario

Picture the scene: You’re in a self-driving car and, after turning a corner, find that you are on course for an unavoidable collision with a group of 10 people in the road with walls on either side. Should the car swerve to the side into the wall, likely seriously injuring or killing you, its sole occupant, and saving the group? Or should it make every attempt to stop, knowing full well it will hit the group of people while keeping you safe?

I would think if there was enough time to recognize the situation and switch to manual
there is probably enough time for the car to not kill you

Interesting scenario. It gives rise to autonomous AI. It would be kind of scary to have the technology make the decision for you.

I'm not driving a self-driving car. I love my car that I control. I wear the pants!

I think this will be a hurdle for sdc's
how will all cars "be on the same deal" if people are afraid to be the first to change

I think there will always be a market for manual cars
just like there is a strong following of "classic cars"

To answer the question, yeah it probably should. I just watched a Sam Harris interview yesterday where he was talking about cognitive dissonance in regards to highway deaths and collateral damage. 30,000 people die every year because of driving, but people don't care about that as much as other situations where far less people die. Anyway, he said that once it is proven that self driving cars bring the death toll down, one would be a moral monster if one insists on driving a manual car just for the enjoyment of driving.

Haha wear the heck do you find these memes?  Do you search for them when a topic arises or do you just remember them from somewhere?

How good do you know the laws of robotics?

The first rule by itself prevents this kind of paradoxes.

1. A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.

this is exactly why the original question was posed
moving will cause the deaths of humans and not moving will cause the deaths of humans
but even Asimov often created exceptions to the rules
showing that they are imperfect

the First Law may forbid a robot from functioning as a surgeon, as that act may cause damage to a human, however Asimov's stories eventually included robot surgeons ("The Bicentennial Man" being a notable example). When robots are sophisticated enough to weigh alternatives, a robot may be programmed to accept the necessity of inflicting damage during surgery in order to prevent the greater harm that would result if the surgery were not carried out, or was carried out by a more fallible human surgeon

"Through inaction, allow human being to come to harm."

What I'm saying is that robot does not allow the scenario to happen:shrug:

in a perfect situation the robot would be able to identify and avoid this situation entirely
but robotics/ai is in it's infancy and a long way from perfect
if it processes the information too slow,
it's sensors are inadequate,
there is a bug/malfunction,
or unusual conditions (rain, snow, ice, tornados, etc)
than mistakes can happen

it's all a backup fail safe
the plan b

not to mention the only way a robot will obey Asimov's law
is if it's programed to

So I assume we are talking about Asimov's laws of robotics, right?

If that kind of thing would enyway happen. You would be alone in the calculations against ten possible victims.
