Are autonomous vehicles an ethical choice

Reference no: EM133533376

Question: In the film autonomous cars were a primary means of transportation, yet not the only means. In the accident that killed Sarah Lloyd and her father, Detective Spooner reported that it was caused by "a driver of a semi [who] fell asleep at the wheel...average guy...wife and kids... you know, working a double..." Then of course an autonomous car also tried to kill the detective while he was on the road. The use of autonomous vehicles will also displace workers: "When autonomous vehicle saturation peaks, U.S. drivers could see job losses at a rate of 25,000 a month, or 300,000 a year, according to a report from Goldman Sachs Economics Research."
