The car that kills you

The autonomous cars are now a reality. These cars are only in test, but in her finally version will be the safest.  But the self-driving cars have yet to pass many steps.

One of these steps, probably the more problematic, is what does the car in case of accident. The difference between a human and a robot is that a human do that they feel in the moment, but the robot can calculate the possibility of injury and death. The problem is that the car will do whatever it is scheduled to do.

What occurred if the car death a person? Who is the guilty? The programmers, the enterprise, the proprietary... And the most important think, if the car looks at the obligation to shed an innocent or crash and kill the driver, what should it do?

This ethical problem has to be fixed. But they have already found a viable solution: the driver is going to decide what importance he gives to the life of the occupants, and the car will decide from this. we will see if this is the definitive solution.
