Moral Machine is learning how we want self-driving cars to kill

While autonomous cars still face tremendous technical challenges before they become commonplace, the ethical decisions they pose loom as even bigger obstacles. Engineers seem to be making systematic progress on the technical side, but designing a framework for addressing the social issues remains problematic.

Five years after the creation of the Moral Machine, an online quiz designed to gauge responses to decisions that self-driving cars face, there is more discussion around the ethics, but still no clear framework for reaching social consensus around the ethical problems, according to one of the co-creators of project, Jean-François Bonnefon, a French researcher at the Toulouse School of Economics and the Artificial and Natural Intelligence Toulouse Institute.
