Also, how does a person teach a car to make decisions in moments of a crash? If a child walks out in front of a car but the alternative to the child surviving is hitting a pole straight on and the driver won’t survive… People have to teach the computer how to make those decisions. We studied that in my automotive engineering classes and it was terrifying.
Think that scene in IRobot where Will Smith wanted to save the drowning girl but the robot refused to because he had a better chance of living.
