aerohead,
Yes, AI is a good thing to bring up in this context, since an AI piloting a car would be making ethical and moral choices about certain situations. Classically, avoid a property damaging collision by running-over a dog, or damage a car (with a risk of non-lethal injury to a human) because it avoided killing the dog?
Such dilemmas raise the question of WHY we want AI piloting cars and what limits there would be? I don't think these are second order questions. They're the kind of questions to which we should develop satisfactory answers before launching a technology. The math seems terrible for such judgement. An utter fail.
I know you are being ironic, aerohead, when you suggest AI would be so vastly superior in such judgements that we should surrender human ethics to its mathematical logic. I just wanted to spell it out a little more.
