the Engineers wondered: how will the Autonomous vehicle in a situation where danger threatens and the driver, and, for example, pedestrians? What decision will accept electronic "brains", which will have to decide who should live and who might have to die. The study of this aspect was carried out by scientists from University of Alabama in the United States.

the Special team is trying to develop an algorithm that would take into account the ethical side possible on the road situation and acted on the basis of the information received. However, the researchers note, the computer cannot be programmed for all possible scenarios, reports Science Daily.

in the meantime, the question remains open, and in future incidents involving Autonomous cars can lead to a wide discussion about whether to allow them on public roads.
