Imagine you are 50 years in the future. You come to a car-sales event to purchase your very first self-driving autopilot car.
想象一下你生活在50年以后的未來(lái)，你到一個(gè)汽車(chē)展銷(xiāo)會(huì)上買(mǎi)你的第一輛全自動(dòng)無(wú)人駕駛汽車(chē)。
These cars will revolutionise road safety, having far better reaction speeds and split-second decision-making capabilities than a human driver.
這些車(chē)將徹底改變道路安全，有遠(yuǎn)超司機(jī)的反應(yīng)速度和瞬間決定能力。
However, the sales agent explained to you that in the extremely rare event of an unavoidable accident, it will sacrifice you if it can save more people and minimise life casualties as a result.
然而銷(xiāo)售人員向你解釋說(shuō)，在極少數(shù)不可避免發(fā)生事故的情況下會(huì)犧牲掉你以挽救更多的人，以便將所造成的人身傷害降到最低。
Say if, one day, while you are driving along, an unfortunate set of events causes the car to head towards a crowd of 10 people crossing the road. It cannot stop in time, so it will avoid killing 10 people by steering into a wall, killing you.
假如有一天你開(kāi)車(chē)時(shí)一系列不幸的事導(dǎo)致車(chē)沖向10個(gè)正在過(guò)馬路的人，車(chē)來(lái)不及停下的話(huà)，為了避免撞上那10個(gè)人車(chē)將會(huì)撞到墻上犧牲掉你一個(gè)。
You’re like, Fuck that, I'm out. And you leave the event without purchasing the car.
你可能會(huì)說(shuō)：“去你的吧，我才不干。”然后就走了，車(chē)也不買(mǎi)了。
You see, this is the ethical dilemma of the self-driving car.
你看，這就是無(wú)人駕駛汽車(chē)的道德困境。
Researchers have done polls on large groups of people on different ethical scenarios when it comes to self-driving cars. The results are interesting. In general, people are comfortable with the idea that self-driving vehicles should be programmed to minimize the death toll.
研究人員找了一大群人針對(duì)無(wú)人駕駛汽車(chē)的不同道德設(shè)想進(jìn)行了民意測(cè)驗(yàn)，結(jié)果很有趣，人們普遍贊成無(wú)人駕駛汽車(chē)應(yīng)該被設(shè)定將死亡人數(shù)最小化的程序設(shè)想。
Yet, they actually wished others to cruise in utilitarian autonomous vehicles, more than they wanted to buy utilitarian autonomous vehicles themselves.
然而，他們是真的希望別人能開(kāi)這種功利型的自動(dòng)汽車(chē)，自己卻不想買(mǎi)。
People are in favor of cars that sacrifice the occupant to save other lives—as long as they don’t have to drive one themselves.
人們支持犧牲車(chē)主挽救別人的汽車(chē)，只要不是自己開(kāi)就行。
So what’s the moral of the story?
那么這個(gè)故事說(shuō)明了什么道理呢？
Ethics and morality are not straight-forward. The biggest ‘trap’ people fall into, is thinking that they are good people, simply because they want to do good.
倫理道德并非易事。人們陷入的最大“騙局”就是僅僅因?yàn)樗麄儭跋搿弊龊檬戮驼J(rèn)為自己是“好”人。
But having good intentions does not mean you are actually doing good. You lose sight of the big picture, and get tunnel-vision, as if looking out from the bottom of a well.
但意圖是好的并非意味著你就真的在做好事。你不看到大格局，只有管狀視野，就好像井底之蛙。
Sadly, not everyone understands this.
可悲的是，并非所有人都懂。
