Smart Cars Driving Regulators Up The Wall

The development of self-driving cars has led to debate about what they should be programmed to do in the event of an emergency.

I’ve encountered with many choices

1. “It’s pretty simple, really,” opines freshman college student Hillary Sparkle on her popular weekly podcast, ‘Overthinking It.’ “The car should be programmed to minimize injuries. For example, if it’s tooling along a freeway and a schoolbus overturns ahead, the car should prioritize saving the greater number of lives, by slamming itself into the nearest wall.”

2. “I must say, that could be a hard sell to the public, cars that may decide to murder their drivers,” says H-Motors Head of Marketing John Spirit. “I haven’t done a focus group. But that’s my feeling. Look, it’s perfectly legal today for a human driver to mow down as many schoolchildren as necessary to save his or her own life. Likewise, self-driving cars must prioritize saving the driver’s life above all else. Otherwise, why would anyone buy one?”

3. “This whole debate is ridiculous,” says Agnes Nagasawa, a software engineer who is fixing the fonts on your computer. “To be honest, these schoolbus scenarios sound like something dreamed up by a Philosophy 101 professor, not something that will actually happen in real life. It’s not the place of software to weigh the value of human life! Just program them to follow the road rules at all times! What could go wrong?”

4. “Oh my God, I HATE those!” says impatient motorist Lee Khan. “They’ve been testing them near where I work. They drive like my grandmother, and she’s in a coma. The other day I was late to work because the so-called Smart Car ahead was waiting for a squirrel to cross the road. A squirrel! I had to swing into oncoming traffic to get around it. And I had to hose the squirrel off my car afterward. Ban self-driving cars!”
