  Read the proposition… It’s a thought experiment what we were discussing

    The proposition is stupid. If you told me that ALL future accidents will be prevented if I agree to kill my family, I would still not do it, that’s just a bad faith trolley problem. Let’s alone just recuding it by half.

    I reduced it to a more realistic experiment, where my family migth be killed, with the same probability as any other.

      The proposition is stupid.

      Oh the depth of reasoning in social media

      If you told me that ALL future accidents will be prevented if I agree to kill my family, I would still not do it

      That is exactly the point… Anyone would be 100% happy taking any proposition as long as they don’t have to pay the cost. I was just trying to highlight that

      In this case, it was all about liability… We have not even come close to prove the current driverless tech is actually better than people’s skills… We all know that automated driving should be safer but we have no clue if we are even taking the right steps.to get there

        But I am paying the cost. I accept that my family might be killed in an accident, with the same probability as anyone else.

        If that’s your point, that a stupid point, and you should do better.
