    Autonomous driving and morals

    Here is an interesting page on autonomous driving & morals. Question is here, how would/should the car judge in such situations:

    From the website:

    “This will result in the deaths of a dog, a criminal, a large man...”

    The question I have is how on earth would the driverless car know these things?!

    What sensors do you have that tell you who is “a criminal”? I'm not sure I like the idea of choosing who lives based on appearance.

    Only way is to have the cars travel in enclosed areas devoid of pedestrians/animals; cut humans completely out of the picture.
