Who is thinking for us?

We are in the age of driverless cars. Experts predict that a commercial, driverless car is less than a decade away.

But in the event of a potential accident, who does the car save – the driver, a pedestrian about to be hit, the occupants of another vehicle?

The algorithms built into the car’s systems will determine the answer … but who has devised those algorithms .. and based on whose thinking.

These are issues that should be concerning us now .. not in 5 years time when we are in the car not driving it.
