Ethical Dilemma

Should your robot driver kill you to save a child’s life? – PC & Tech Authority – Interesting little ethical conundrum that I hadn’t thought about with regards to self-driving cars. Is it a matter of users having a “setting” in the car for “Save me at all costs”? Or, as Rodd more cynically put it, would there be a premium upgrade for the software that includes self-preservation if you pay enough?


Important Note

This site features content going all the way back to 2000. The posts you’ll read reflect my views and writing style at the time. While I have gone back to clean up a few of them, I think it’s important not to sanitise too much. This site is a record of who I am and how I’ve grown. Any blog post written years ago may not reflect who I am today, nor how I would write about the same topic today.
