AmMA by deep blue. He waves radiate off the baked road pavement outside an upscale apartment building on the sidewalk. Gary 45 laptop bag slung over his shoulder waits impatiently. Where is this guy? Gary takes out his phone to check the time when a sleek futuristic looking silver sedan with tinted windows, pulls up the passenger door opens on its own and Gary Hobson, you're late where he turns and stops. No one is in the driver's seat. Gary glances around the car's leather interior confused. Hello? A screen on the council lights up a simple blue line against a black background spikes to life with the presence of a female voice. Hello, I am a M. A. I will be your driver today. I didn't realize they were sending a self driving car. My records indicate you clicked any when ordering your service. If you would like to wait for a human driver. I don't have time for that. Just take me to 3 10 Ivory Court in Woodside and make sure to avoid traffic is backed up on route 25. Would you like to take the el camino Real instead? Exactly. Wonderful. Please buckle your seat to begin your trip. Gary does so and the Sedan pulls away. He settles in his seat a bit. Getting comfortable. Could you turn up the air? It's a scorcher out there. Of course a small graphic pops up on the screen reading cool, I noticed you have a laptop in a mobile device. I am equipped with Wifi hotspot that you may access free of charge. You can see me all rides are monitored. Yes. Would you like to connect to free wifi? Sure. Gary takes out his laptop and opens it. You are connected. Thank you. Emma, it's Amma. Gary begins to type away at his laptop. What's that stand for autonomous motorized? It stands for artificial moral agent. Gary pauses and looks at the screen still blue line. Are you married? Gary smiles and glances at his wedding ring. Yeah. Can we back up a bit? You said you have a moral agency? That is correct. Why isn't it enough to just drive inside the lines? There are many situations I have to face that require me to have moral algorithms. You are familiar with the trolley problem. I took ethics 101. Yes. Say we were hurling around towards five pedestrians unable to stop but I can swerve to the right, striking and killing a single pedestrian in the process. I must have a method for choosing the best option and that would be to kill a single person. Someone will die either way and either option is within my ability to control. How long have you been married? five years next month? Any plans for your anniversary were taking a cruise? Have you been married before? Is this your first marriage? What about a wall? Would you avoid the five pedestrians if it meant killing Well me Yes, but there are privately owned vehicles which may be programmed to prioritize the driver. Can you prioritize me right now? If I asked you are not my programmer, so no.
