Diving in a not so distant future. In 10, 20 or 30 years, the cars without drivers could appear on our roads. With their calm behavior, they will be less energy. Their generalization will improve traffic flow, and they will reduce the number of accidents. But sometimes they will have to choose between two catastrophes. Jean-François Bonnefon, researcher at CNRS and the Toulouse School of Economics (TSE), doctor of psychology expert rationality, co-authored with two American researchers “Social dilemma of driverless cars,” a study published June 24 in the renowned journal “Science.” Maintenance.
Why such a study?
This topic is at the crossroads of my specialty, morality, and that of my colleagues, cooperation and new technologies. It seemed to us, even if we do not know how soon the cars without drivers appear, it was necessary to begin to lay the foundation of this problem. The study is independent of any manufacturer.
What it shows?
driverless cars (VSC) might finally decide in a split second if they save the lives of their passengers or that of a group of pedestrians. Knowing that the probability of such a situation is minute, are we prepared to drive in a car programmed to kill us when our sacrifice can save more than one life?
What ‘ responded respondents?
over 75% of respondents are morally convinced that we must use the VSC passenger who sacrifice for the good of the greatest number. But buying intentions do not really match their moral convictions: others must buy a car that protects the greatest number, but they prefer to buy a car that protects
What would be. the solution?
that governments settle, deciding that all autonomous cars must decide to save the greatest number. But in this case, as we have seen, people would be less inclined to buy them …
In the end, this could hinder the development of these cars …
Yes, and thus the development of more safe cars as we drive ourselves.
hollow, the question would it not : should we let the robots decide for us
absolutely?. But do not ever do we let the bots we make purchasing proposals on the Internet? The world is already changing
Researchers have developed a portal on the Internet (http: //moralmachine.mit.edu/). To allow users to explore different scenarios: would you prefer a car without a driver prevents a group of 10 pedestrians and fits into a wall, killing its three occupants, including a woman and a child? Several hypotheses of the same type are proposed. The research has particularly benefited from the support of the Laboratory of Excellence (Labex) AIST, an interdisciplinary research institute of the University Toulouse Capitol.
