The Million Dollar Dilemma — Autonomous Vehicle and its Moral Compass

As AI becomes increasingly potent, we must ensure our robotic creations have sufficiently acceptable ethical guidelines.

Autonomous vehicles have been touted as the future of transportation, promising safer and more efficient roads. However, as the technology advances, it raises some ethical questions and dilemmas that we as a society must address.

For example, in a video titled “The ethical dilemma of self-driving cars” by Patrick Lin, he discusses the moral issues surrounding autonomous vehicles and their programming.

In this article, we will explore these ethical dilemmas and debate the perspectives that arise from them.

Why Concerns Arise

Driverless autonomous vehicles are programmed to make decisions that are safe and efficient. However, in doing so, they are faced with moral dilemmas that humans have been grappling with for centuries.

Emotional Intelligence Concerns

These vehicles lack the ability to make ethical decisions in a way that humans can.

• Humans can use intuition, empathy, and cultural norms to make ethical decisions, while driverless autonomous vehicles use algorithms and programming.
