RE: Who or what must the self driving car run over

What? What are doing so many people at once on the street? :)

Obviously humans should be protected first. Children first, ladies firs... But you first, or they first? I think new laws or ethic codices must be created, like the famous laws of the robotics:

First Law – A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
Second Law – A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
Third Law – A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Laws.
(Asimov)


But such complicated situations are, in reality, rare.

This is just an example to demonstrate the complexities in programming these self driving car's decision making process.
