Transcript[edit]
- [Describe panel here]
- Two self-driving cars are about to hit a man.
- Each car holds five people.
- Each can only avoid the lone man by swerving off a cliff.
- One car is utilitarian.
- "The greatest good is the best outcome."
- One car is deontological.
- "Thou shalt not kill.
- The utilitarian car knows the deontological car must swerve.
- Total dead: 6 total alive: 5
- The deontological car knows the utilitarian car will not swerve.
- "Even if I obey my rule, the man will die."
- Calculations grow complex.
- "But if the deontological car knows that I know that it knows that I'm going to swerve, and thus it should..."
- "If it knows that I'm not going to swerve, thus killing the man, it may change his mind about not swerving in which case..."
- At this point, the Nietzschean tractor-trailer speeds through.
- "What is good?! All that heightens the feeling of power!"
- Nietzschean what is good?! All that heightens the feeling of power!
- This scene plays out over and over whenever cars must make ethical decisions. In time, all gentler ethical systems are extinguished among autonomous vehicles.
- "There is nothing to life that has value except the degree of power."
- Nietzchean trucks come to view themselves as humanity's natural overlords
- "What is happiness? The feeling that power is growing that resistance is overcome!"
- Still, on the whole it's pretty good.
- "It's not perfect, but man I do not miss commuting."
