akuperma, right, one kollelnik did some research several years ago about self-driving cars – who is liable for life-and-death decisions. Most likely the developer. For example, if the car needs to resolve the famous dilemma whether to continue straight and kill person set {A} or turn and kill person set {B} – it is conceivable that the car can ID all the people, evaluate their net worth, value for humanity, insurance coverage, likelihood to sue – and make decision based on factors that are not according to halakha. Are you allowed to drive a car like that?
