Germany’s transport ministry has revealed what it describes as the world’s first guidelines about how autonomous vehicles should react in dilemmas where a crash is inevitable or the vehicle would have to violate traffic rules to protect its occupants, Reuters reports.
The recommendations were developed by a government-appointed panel of ethics, law and technology experts. They dictate that self-driving cars should protect human life at all cost, even if that means destroying property, striking animals or ignoring traffic laws.
The rules further state that robotic cars cannot be programmed to make their decisions based on the age, sex or physical condition of any people involved.
