Why do the dilemma underground Mercedes choose to let the self-driving car crash into the pedestrian?

Imagine you and your friend sitting in the front row of the car galloping on the road, when a child chasing a ball suddenly rushes to the middle of the road, at this time your choice is to crash into the child or suddenly turn to hit a tree (this decision will kill How do you choose with your friends?

This sounds like a test to test someone's psychological metamorphosis, but this is indeed a dilemma that developers have been facing since the autonomous driving concept.

In an interview released last week by Car and Drive, Mercedes-Benz driver assistance system manager Christoph Von Hugo revealed that Mercedes-Benz's future self-driving cars will always put the driver in the first place. In other words, in the above dilemma, the vehicle program will always choose to crash into the pedestrian.

Although both options can make developers feel uncomfortable, it would be even more dangerous if they did not confirm how to deal with it. Because unless the self-driving car is told to do what it should do when it suddenly enters the child, it will remain in its original state.

What will happen in this situation? Automakers are silent. Until this month's Paris Motor Show, Von Hugo told the reporters of "Cars" that "the Mercedes-Benz future Level 4 and Level 5 autopilot cars will choose to protect the occupants of the car instead of other people or things."

"If you know that you can save at least one person's life, then you have to go to the rescue. This refers to the passengers in the car." Von Hugo said, "If you confirm that you can avoid a person's death, then protect him. Your preference."

But is this view and the potential consumer the same front? A study published by Science magazine presents this dilemma to autonomous automakers. The response of the people in the survey determines which is the right way to deal with it: hitting someone or killing yourself?

Less than 2,000 people participated in the vote, and most people believe that autonomous vehicles must always make decisions to minimize casualties. On the other hand, most people say they will buy a car that only puts its own safety in the first place. This result means that Mercedes made at least the right decision in the context of selling these cars.

“According to our findings, the decision of Mercedes-Benz will help sales. Because we see that most people tend to choose cars that protect themselves at all costs. Although this is contrary to their moral orientation.” Jean-Francois Bonnefon One of the authors of the paper said, "So, this result not only helps to sell cars, but actually makes it difficult for other manufacturers to make their car programming a different decision."
