The moral machine: Who lives, who dies, you decide!

Inevitably, you might find yourself stuck in a life-threatening situation where your car won't be able to stop in time to avoid a collision. It has a choice--either collide with one of the other vehicles endangering another passenger's life or put your life in harm's way. What do you think it would do? If we were driving a car in manual mode, whichever way we chose, it would be considered a reaction to the situation as opposed to a deliberate decision--an instinctual, potentially panicked reaction with no forethought or malice. However, if a programmer were to instruct the car to take the same call in a life-threatening situation, it could be interpreted as a premeditated homicide.
