The Moral Dilemma of Apple Car

Three decades ago, the internet was just beginning to revolutionize human communications. Little did the world know how much power would fall into the hands of a few technocratic elites as a result. Autonomous vehicles likewise will transform human transportation in the same way; the skill of helming the wheel will no longer be necessary in about a decade or two, just as the art of writing on paper has all but ceased to exist. Recent news of a so-called Apple Car project has done little to bring positive attention to the possibilities of a self-driving revolution. In poll-after-poll, nearly half of Americans say they would not use an autonomous taxi or ride-sharing service.
