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.
