<https://www.inverse.com/article/22204-mercedes-benz-self-driving-cars-ai-eth...> When Mercedes-Benz starts selling self-driving cars, it will choose to prioritize driver safety over pedestrians, a company manager has confirmed. The ethical conundrum of how A.I.-powered machines should act in life-or-death situations has received more scrutiny as driverless cars become a reality, but the car manufacturer believes that it’s safer to save the life you have greater control over. “You could sacrifice the car. You could, but then the people you’ve saved initially, you don’t know what happens to them after that in situations that are often very complex, so you save the ones you know you can save,” Christoph von Hugo, Mercedes’ manager of driver assistance systems, told /Car and Driver/ <http://blog.caranddriver.com/self-driving-mercedes-will-prioritize-occupant-...> in an interview published last week. “If you know you can save at least one person, at least save that one. Save the one in the car.” [] Ciao, Alberto
