In this cleverly animated virtual reality experiment, the ethics of artificial intelligence algorithms in self-driving cars are questioned on the occasion of an unavoidable crash. This experience puts you in the passenger’s seat of an automated car just moments before a fatal crash, forcing the algorithm to make incredibly difficult decisions. Given varied cultural and individual ethics, who should be designing these algorithms, and how should they be chosen?

— Shari Frilot

While this information is limited and doesn't necessarily represent the full list of participants (e.g. actors and crew), it is the list given to us by the main film/play/project contact at the time, based on the space restrictions of our publications. Each entry in the Online Archives is meant as a historical record of a particular film, play, or project at the time of its involvement with Sundance Institute. For this reason, we can only amend an entry if a name is misspelled, or if the entry does not correctly reflect the original publication.
