THE LOSE-LOSE ETHICS OF TESTING SELF-DRIVING CARS IN PUBLIC; Wired, March 23, 2018

Aarian Marshall, Wired; THE LOSE-LOSE ETHICS OF TESTING SELF-DRIVING CARS IN PUBLIC

"The unfortunate truth is that there will always be tradeoffs. A functioning society should probably create space—even beyond the metaphorical sense—to research and then develop potentially life-saving technology. If you’re interested in humanity’s long-term health and survival, this is a good thing. (Even failure can be instructive here. What didn’t work, and why?) But a functioning society should also strive to guarantee that its citizens aren’t killed in the midst of beta testing. We’ve made this work for experimental drugs, finding an agreeable balance between risking lives today and saving them tomorrow."
