bwfcfan5 Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 The question to be answered is whether the fact the car was self driving contributed to the accident or not. It may well not have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter MickyD Posted March 20, 2018 Site Supporter Share Posted March 20, 2018 Whether coming out of shadows or any other reason, surely the driverless vehicle uses infra-red technology to seek changes in the heat signature between a person and its surroundings. The ability to see into the shadows in a conventional way is irrelevant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not in Crawley Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 The first passenger rail journey had a fatality when someone walked in front of the train. Not quite that simple, was a bit of a bit of bad luck, bit of clumsiness and a bit of ill health. Call me a sad sack but got this book a couple of xmas’ ago - https://books.google.co.uk/books/about/The_Railways.html?id=U36lBwAAQBAJ&source=kp_cover&redir_esc=y Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure I heard that some folk we scared shirtless of trains as they thought people wouldn't be able to breathe at speeds of 30mph+ and would Kark it.

Ultimately in writing the software for the car - someone has to decide if in the event that someone steps in front of the car and a crash will result in either the driver or pedestrian losing their life - should the car brake?

birch-chorley Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Why would the driver lose his life? Surely car v pedestrian is no contest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyldesley_white Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Kent the car could have braked, we don't know that yet, also stepping out in front of a car say 20 feet away the car can brake (just as human driver would) and stop before hitting said idiot, now if the same idiot does it within a foot of the car you cant write algorithm's until hell freezes over the result will be the same, one dead or serious injured idiot ( you would get the same result if the car had a human driver) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kent_white Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 My point is - do we write the software to brake and possibly kill the passenger as well as probably kill the pedestrian. Or programme the car not to slow down and definitely kill the pedestrian but probably save the passenger? It's about ethics in AI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
