Mercedes-Benz's Self-Driving Cars Would Choose Passenger Lives Over Bystanders

Executed on comments posted on Mercedes-Benz cars Christoph von Hugo last week and driver announced that a future autonomous vehicle of the automaker will save car drivers and passengers, even though it meant Sacrificing the pedestrian's lives, in this case, this is only two choices

"If you know that you can save at least one person, you can at least save that person," Feng Huguo said at the Paris Motor Show. "Save people in the car, this is your top priority if you know exactly what you can prevent from dying."

This does not mean that the Mercedes robot car ignores the bystanders' safety. Like Artificial Intelligence, 1 - For Human Moral Thinking Experiment Driver 1 - Von Hugo, a driver assistance and safety system administrator, an automaker working on the so-called "truck problem"

In the first statement, the trolley problem was imagining that someone stood at the switch of the railroad and was seeing a group of innocent people on the track. The observer can choose to divert the train to another track - other people and smaller groups will still be killed. Should those who made such decisions be admired by reducing the total number of deaths - or should they be charged with the crime of the death of the victims?

One day autonomous vehicles will find themselves in a parallel state - for example, you need to hit a pedestrian while choosing full speed to crash into the concrete barrier or maintain the safety of the passengers. At the beginning of the year, scientific papers (fee column) examined how we look at the dilemma of unmanned driving vehicles. People think that cars should be chosen to save as much as possible, but others say that choosing to save the lives of others does not risk buying a car.

Therefore, Mercedes decided to value important passenger's lives more than bystanders. But von Hugo broader compelling reason - he said the situation is a collapse of chaos, as the situation A.I. Should give priority to the most direct control of life

"Because you saved those people you know you can save." "You can sacrifice a car, but later you saved the person, you later I do not know what happened, "he told the car and the driver

October 20, 2016 1:25 PM EST Update Report: Mercedes - After commenting on the Benz "Fortune" magazine, von Hugo mistakenly quoted and the automaker was told the official position , "Neither the programmer nor the automated system has the right to quantify the value of human life", the company is Germany and other countries, it means that people live the law's life I can not do it.

In the past few months, the ethics of an automobile has made great progress. In October 2016, Mercedes-Benz executive Cristoph · von Hugo, in the case of an autopilot control system which must make a choice between the safety of passengers and pedestrians and bystanders, Mercedes is an autonomous vehicle I said that I will give priority to the lives and safety of passengers. This scenario trolley problem with popular echo, this is that in this experiment, individuals should turn on the switch so that the trolley runs a series of innocent people, or the trolley runs with a few people It is a thought experiment that has to decide. In the case of autonomous vehicles, computer systems, not people, make ethical decisions. This distinction is important to regulate the civic comfort for autonomous vehicles and the future of these products in the market.

I have tested some luxury cars this weekend. Uber purchase rumor with 100,000 Mercedes · Benz S class sedan, Tesla, as a startup company wants to provide a platform for all drivers and their car, as such George · Hotz technology autonomous driving vehicle We began producing the future We know the direction of the future.
