German Autopilot Report: Road to Small Animals, First of All to Protect Human Life

[Netease smart news August 29 news] Today, a team of German experts issued a study that may affect the future of automated driving. For the first time, the team tried to answer some of the more pressing questions about driverless cars. Take this situation as an example. When you are driving at high speed on the highway, a dog runs to your car, and then does not move, waiting for death. You can turn, but you end up crashing into the guardrail or the oncoming traffic. You can also drive forward regardless of whether it is straightforward or not, but it is not realistic. Or you can slam on the brakes, so it is possible to save yourself and the dog, but there may be more than one car accident. When you are weighing the balance, the conclusion has actually come out. Is your life more important than a dog's life? If you suddenly turn from the highway in order to avoid him, you end up in a car accident and stay in your home for the rest of your life. Germany may have an answer: "Protecting human life is always a top priority." This solution stems from a report by the German Ethics Committee, which consists of 14 experts from various industry-related fields, including transportation experts and philosophers. , Theologians, company representatives, etc. This group of people gathered together to identify 20 discoveries that could shape the future of automation. The US Congress adopted a “wait and see attitude” and relied on car manufacturers to define rules. In the process of waiting, many things happen in real time. Whether or not you agree with the consensus of the expert group, this is a beginning. (From: TNW 牨嘁耄 and   庵 庵 庵 : :: jixinyue8871)
