My stance- I just don't think there should be self-driving cars. I agree to Trains like they do in Europe because they are not in direct pathways to pedestrian crossings. Choosing between old/young, gender, status is ridiculous. Human is Human and should be chosen above all... in my opinion.

Briefly summarize your article?

-Showing the ethical dilemma where self-driving cars might be tasked with choosing between who to hit depending on which case

What are the 2 or 3 key ethical issues?

-Who to hit between people and animals?
-Does the car put the passengers at risk in any case?
-Can you develop a system that can accurately decipher the person's wealth and age and choose a split-second decision?

What is your position, and why?

-I don't believe that these cars can choose to save one person or another at this point.
-Creating a moral code would be necessary for automakers to generate this code, which could vary between automakers.

The article is bringing up an ethical dilemma to do with machine ethics. The article is about self-driving cars and the decision that they will have to make when confronted 2 bad options.

2. How will the car decide  between two human lives who gets to live?

Human lives prioritized over animal lives and further.

How does the Liability of the accident come into play with   this self-driving car?

3. My position is that the car should always prioritize human life over animal life and greater quantity of human lives saved overall.

This article is about the ethical dilemmas drivers may face when driving -- such as hitting a pedestrian and saving themselves, or vice versa -- and applying those ethics, decisions, and thought processes towards self-driving cars and their possible impacts. The article goes onto describe how values vary throughout different countries based on culture or economic status.

One ethical issue is that, based on the data taken from other regions, not each and every country agreed on the same decisions when faced with difficult scenarios.

A secondary ethical issue is if all humans surveyed cannot make a concrete decision on what the ethical decision is, how can a machine?

My position is that there is not enough evidence to support vehicle automation. It is inevitable that we will move towards fully automated machines, and while machine automation is beneficial in some ways to the future of humanity, a human should always be able to control the car in any situation if they find that their personal values overrides the machine's programming.

Ethical issues?

Should the car protect people in the cars or pedestrians first?

Personally, I think the people in the car should be priority number 1 and if safe then protect the passenger. Computers can process data much faster than people so they should be able to in the future act in that manner which I believe is the same in people.

We should develop infrastructure that is more isolated from foot traffic to accommodate the need for less pedestrian and vehicle interactions.

Its easier to train people to avoid possible dangerous situations rather than equipment be aware of people all the time.

1. this article examines the results from a survey taken by 130 countries on the topic of whether self-driving cars are a viable option when looking at the issue of who to save in the case of an accident. The results found that depending on the country, the answers varied. As well, though many situations can be thought of, the possibilities of an accident are endless and a computer would not be able to account for all these possibilities.
2. one ethical issue is that self-driving cars take the liability away from the driver.
Another ethical issue is that the machine would have to decide on valuing one life over another.

Are autonomous vehicles capable of making moral decisions when it comes to possible accidents? This is the question between multiple autonomous car manufacturers.
Ethical Issues:
What moral ethics will be input into the vehicles code.
How can a car decide who lives or dies.
My position is that whether the car is autonomous or not we should still have the obligation to maintain awareness while driving. (Not sleeping)

. Who should a vehicle be programed to save first between two variables?

For my position, I'm trying to think as objectively as possible, and I've concluded that human lives are to be saved first and if there is a choice between saving a child and another person of older age, save the child. One thing that I believe should not play into the car's decision is apparent economic status. I don't think a successful person should be valued over a homeless person of the same age. Two things I'm struggling with, though, are: when should a person outside of the car be valued over the person inside the car, and who to choose between an older person and a mid-age person.

How should autonomous vehicles prioritize accident victims?

How do we ethically choose between the following

Human vs Animals
More vs fewer humans
Male vs female
Older vs younger
Wealthy vs homeless

my truths are

Human > Animals
fewer > More humans

I would ignore male vs female and wealthy vs homeless.

Younger > Elderly because according to a 2020 data set on pedestrian deaths. there is a higher mortality rate between the ages of 45-74 while ages 5-9 have the lowest mortality rate.

Briefly summarize your article

Inventing a self driving car that has been programmed to ethically respond in moral choices that could come up such as hitting a animal or a human on the road and which the car should save. Either the passengers or the people/animals on the road.

What are the 2 or 3 key ethical issues?

Depending on the country and the dominant social culture depends on what people choose to save

Cannot change the ethical choice that is programmed to the car once they cross the boarder

What is your position and why?

To save the people or pets on the street because if someone was to put themselves into the position of hitting something on the street unless it was a deer that jumped out in front the car would be at fault
