First read the article "The Ethics of Autonomous Cars- Sometimes good judgment can compel us to act illegally. Should a self-driving vehicle get to make that same decision?" By Patrick Lin from the Atlantic, written by Patrick Lin and then answer the questions that follow.
• Lin contrasts the difference between ethics and laws. Explain why programming autonomous vehicles to strictly follow the Motor Vehicle Act and associated Rules of the Road may not be appropriate. Illustrate your answer with at least two examples, one from the text and one not covered in the text.
• Lin contrasts the difference between levels of responsibility of programmers of autonomous vehicles and drivers of conventional vehicles. Explain this difference and briefly explain whether or not you agree with the author's conclusion on which should bear greater responsibility for bad outcomes.
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
