RE: Should Robots Be Given Rights?
Tricky questions but I am thinking about an article I read recently. A driverless car (robot in its own way) "sees" a kid running out into the road after his ball, the logic will be to avoid the kid but what if it has to swerve and in avoiding the boy will hit an old couple at the side of the road? Something I cannot even answer myself.
perhaps it could swerve and honk? and those nearby would think to move and get out of the way? 👍
yes but the situation describe didn't give the option so it's really not easy to make a choice.
But in this case the same thing would happen whether its a person driving or a robotic car ! I think the robotic car would sense the kid before a human would , and stop in time without incident or any need to swerve ! 👍👍👍😀
many accidents happen because of unexpected events. you are implying the autonomous "expect" this all the time and be able to react to stop which that implies the car won't be going fast. we can build the cars to talk to cars but we cannot build the cars to talk to all around unless everything has an IOT device that is opened and talks to everyone. now, that will also be scary but part of it is already truly happening.
