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 think the moral dilemmas over exactly how cars should react in a tiny percentage of cases where tough choices need to be made is a distraction from the main problem. The longer we wait to get autonomous vehicles on the road, the more people will die. And that is the real moral question of autonomous cars. Why aren't we getting them on the road faster?"

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.
