Re: You're all missing the real point
Correct. Of course I would like my car to evaluate - and perform actions in the following list order, choosing whichever is the lowest number that keeps me safe - I will accept minor injuries if this protects other humans or large animals from major injuries or death.
Target:
(1) Human built structures or natural features from largest to smallest
(2) Animals, smallest to largest
(3) Single humans or groups who are not where they are supposed to be
(4) Single humans, oldest to youngest
(5) Groups of humans, smallest group to largest group
(6) Humans I personally know
Of course this assumes that the computer can evaluate all these things correctly which is highly unlikely - but these are my morals, and at least what I would do in a situation today if I have the presence of mind and driving skills to pull it off. Hopefully 'presence' and driving skills of autonomous vehicles will be better than mine or what's the point in them.
I should be able to answer a simple questionnaire then my car will behave as I would do - if others have different views then they should be able to tell the car those also and stand by the consequences.
