Is there an ethical dilemma with self-driving cars? Are driverless cars safe? In this clip with Malcolm Gladwell and Neil deGrasse Tyson, they discuss the Trolley Problem with self-driving cars, Google's self-driving car project Waymo, and the idea that autonomous vehicles might be liberating pedestrians to do whatever they want. Also discussed: Are AI systems inherently racist? How dangerous will self-driving cars be in New York City and what autonomous cars mean for bicycle rides in big cities?
