The ethical dilemma of self-driving cars | Patrick Lin | TED-Ed Animation

In this TED-Ed animation on “The ethical dilemma of self-driving cars,” lesson creator Patrick Lin navigates the murky business ethics of machine learning and artificial intelligence. Self-driving cars are already cruising the streets today and will ultimately be safer and more cleaner than their manual counterparts, but they can’t completely avoid accidents altogether. In this animated video, Lin raises important questions around who is responsible when a self-driving car gets in an accident, expanding into a larger conversation on the ethics of AI and robotics.
