Does the self-driving car protect its passengers at all costs with no regard for the lives of others, or should the car instead put its passengers in harm's way to avoid a higher number of casualties that could result from a collision with pedestrians or other motorists? So if there is just one passenger aboard a car, and the lives of 10 pedestrians are at stake, the survey participants were perfectly fine with a self-driving car "killing" its passenger to save many more lives in return. MIT Media Lab has developed a complimentary online "Moral Machine" game that allows you to walk through a number of scenarios of who lives and who dies when a self-driving vehicle has to make a tough call. With this all being said, we can't help but recall a rather poignant scene from the movie I, Robot, in which Detective Spooner (played by Will Smith) recalls a story of how a robot saved his life in a car crash.
