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?
