I hate this journalist created "moral dilemma". No, there will never be a moral dilemma, the AI will calculate the best outcome of thousands of possibilities in a matter of milliseconds no matter the circumstance. I feel like people who bring this up have zero programming experience, and are shoveling the typical irrational fear that most journalists love to slam down our throats.

Watch the video. Every video I've seen from him has been very well informed. I was confident he wasn't going to go that direction, and he didn't.

I'm not sure where all the confidence comes from. I don't they have anywhere near enough driving experience to warrant this kind of certainty.

The reason why we can't get the self driving cars on the road faster is because the technology is not ready. And worse the quality of developers has gone downhill in the last 3 years. So the software in these cars are as buggy as hell. One update that goes wrong and you have 1000s of killing machines.
The other problem is more self driving cars means that people forget to drive. When they must take over they will have forgotten how to react in that emergency situation. Expect an increase of self driving cars to kill people because they had a blow job and the female by accident touched the auto drive button to off.
