| Mercedes self-driving car decides drivers more important than pedestrians There is no laying down your life for anyone Carmaker Mercedes-Benz has decided that if it comes to a choice between drivers and pedestrians it will choose the side which wrote rather a lot of money for one of its products. The outfit said that when it starts selling self-driving cars, it will choose to prioritise driver safety over pedestrians. For a while now there has been an ethical conundrum of how A.I.-powered machines should act in life-or-death situations. The official line is that Mercedes-Benz believes that it’s safer to save the life you have greater control over. http://fudzilla.com/news/41859-merce...an-pedestrians |
