  • 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

    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.]]>     2022-05-10 18:34:25 UTC https://padlet.com/sriddell5/f6mzanirgm5cemov/wish/2178125798     https://padlet.com/sriddell5/f6mzanirgm5cemov/wish/2178125954 . 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.

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.

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. ]]>     2022-05-10 18:35:16 UTC https://padlet.com/sriddell5/f6mzanirgm5cemov/wish/2178127211     If a car takes a wrong ethical decision, who will be blamed... car manufacturer or software programmer or nobody? panag2492 https://padlet.com/sriddell5/f6mzanirgm5cemov/wish/2178128332 2022-05-10 18:35:56 UTC https://padlet.com/sriddell5/f6mzanirgm5cemov/wish/2178128332 Self Driving Ethics tylerturn14 https://padlet.com/sriddell5/f6mzanirgm5cemov/wish/2178128427 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.

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.

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.]]>     2022-05-10 18:40:41 UTC https://padlet.com/sriddell5/f6mzanirgm5cemov/wish/2178135683     Ethics behind self-driving cars kevb432 https://padlet.com/sriddell5/f6mzanirgm5cemov/wish/2178139618
  • 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.

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. https://padlet.com/sriddell5/f6mzanirgm5cemov/wish/2178146217 2022-05-10 18:48:00 UTC https://padlet.com/sriddell5/f6mzanirgm5cemov/wish/2178146217
