Readers: Disagreement on self-driving cars’ decision – New Technology

                                

Yesterday, reported the New Technology to Tesla and Volvo disagree about what is the most difficult moral question for self-driving cars.

Tesla says that the hardest part is the rules behind the controllers, who make decisions about life and death. Volvo disagree.

– Our strategy is that the car should never get into a situation where it has to choose to make that kind of moral decisions. Never, said Erik Coelingh, Technical Specialist at Volvo Cars.

He argued instead that the important moral question is whether society to accept that the death of 30 000 in traffic every year in Europe, and about as many in the United States, when there’s technology – self-driving cars – that can reduce that number dramatically.

Ny Teknik readers are also disagree.

The signature” * Elvis “buy Volvo’s reasoning:

“I think Volvo is in principle justified. When a robot drive should never take a chance. The robot must be 100 percent sure that the sensor information it receives means it can stay safely. Robots will not take a chance. Then always the unforeseen happen, partly because of other motorists. We this time it is not the robot’s choice to choose between life and death. The robot’s task is to slow down as quickly as possible and avoid as many obstacles as possible. “

Although” Lars A “believes that Volvo is right that the moral question is how to use the new technology to reduce dördsolyckorna.

“With 100 percent self-driving cars it is possible to reduce the number of injuries and fatalities in traffic by 99.9 percent, “he writes.

But the reader F. Roger is more hesitant to Volvo’s solution when the car is facing a difficult choice, then the only safe option to stand parked in his opinion.

“I have been forced to drive off the road when I met a coach who made overtaking. It had been a very unhappy customer on the car just stopped and stood there like a kamikaze pilot in the file, “writes L. Roger.

Signature” Christian “warns that Volvo’s developers think only of known situations.

” There are plenty of situations in a self-driving car with today’s sensors are not aware of. “

” Will a car at 100 km / h right through an intersection, you will be able to see the. Your system will not detect the car until it’s too late. Today’s self-driving system that Volvo is all too suited to passing traffic you know, “he writes, and continues:

” A the driver can see well beyond the autonomous systems. He can hear emergency vehicles long before they get there, etc. There are a million problems in traffic between autonomous systems is difficult to take a position, “cautions” Christian “.

Ny Teknik readers” Michael “is on Tesla’s line:

” There will always be situations where self-driving cars do not work where choices must be made or critical decisions to be taken. An example is when it will suddenly freezing rain clogging camera and other sensors so they get the wrong information. What makes the car then? “Wonders” Michael “.

He makes several suggestions:

Bland other things * ELVIS “who believe that the self-driving car then do the following:” 1: Turning on the windscreen wiper. 2: Slows down the speed in which the information it collects is accurate. Not so strange, I do roughly the same thing myself when I fell in love car. Visibility suddenly worse = pressure to brake properly. How hard you press depends on how much general information has been buffered in the head. “

The signature” Sven “has its own experience smart car system has worked well.

“Run daily, a car with a laser, radar and camera to monitor and adaptive cruise control. At least once I’d made it completely from the accident due to the systems. Probably more, “he writes, and continues:

” The work in reality and makes great use. Where I want to get is that you must not think that the future system will be worse. “

The signature” EE “also believe that technology is a safer solution than humans:

“An automated vehicles have more information sources / sensors than we humans have. This means that control systems often have a much better picture of the situation than what a man has and the more sensor redundancy to create it. In combination with other actuators are available and these can be controlled considerably faster than a human could do so, there is simply increased margins, “he writes, and continues:

” It’s the little things that the article is really about; a man does not have time so very informed decisions in a crisis situation, it becomes a little as it gets and with a little luck will get it right or else had “bad luck”, a machine can, however, potentially in a situation very well have time to understand the situation and then plan and execute sophisticated maneuvers in certain situations always lead to some type of injury. The question then is: how will the system / designer actively choose any damage to prioritize? “

Reader” Magnus “does not like the idea of a self-driving car that stays in the file and the emergency braking when a sudden situation:

“I want to at least have a car that would rather shy away into the ditch than the emergency braking when an oncoming file causes a frenzy overtaking and a frontal collision is imminent fact … “he writes.
