If the user enters the bottom of the ocean as their destination, it would be bad for a self-driving car to take them there. "The user is an idiot and so we killed him" is not going to be such a great defense in court...
- mangeletti 11y agoIn all seriousness, if a man puts a GLOCK 21 in his mouth and pulls the trigger, is it GLOCK that "killed him"? If I take my car and intentionally drive into the ocean, I expect it to continue until the engine dies, and then I do shortly after. Why should machines start prohibiting me from doing stupid things, if I want to do them? I think Isaac Asimov wrote a parable about such a future.
