The motorcyclist dies, the kid dies, or the parked car gets smashed.
You pick the motorcycle to die?
Your choice is based off of the least property damage to your own car?
Damn dude

My sub actually brakes if it sees an accident up the road before I do.
That is nothing like abs.
Have you seen any Google or tesla cars? The tesla requires you leave your hands on the wheel.

Car is driving, kid pulls out, motorcycle next to car, distance closer than brakes can stop, no escape route because of parked cars. Which target does the car hit?
As the motorcycle is already traveling with the car, impact forces with it can be expected to be less than with a near stationary object.
The potential outcome of the impact with the motorbike is likely to be less damaging, considering that the computer cannot make ethical choices, nor does the computer consider the density and mass of impacting objects.
In the movie, I Robot, this scenario was part of the development of the main character. Robots were advanced enough to calculate odds of survival in wrecks and make decisions. The hero in the movie was saved by a robot who let a child die and saved the adult because the robot assessed the adult had a greater chance of survival. The hero then held a grudge against robots for letting the child die because he thought he woudl have been able to save the kid.

Lol. The sensor is the sight.
It didn't seem as if you had the technical knowledge of explaining what it was doing. My bad.

You are pointing out exactly why it is a bad Idea to leave ethical questions to a computer.
Your assumption that a motorcycle can sustain a fender bender is wrong.
Assume for argument the motorcycle will go under the back tire and die, the kid will die, or the empty parked car will get hit.
I am driving, I will hit the parked car every time.
I calculate an escape route everywhere as I drive, not just focus on the immediate road.
Dude, making motorcycles computer controlled?
I'm not even going to touch that one.
The motorcycle is allowed to drive in his lane, the car deals with its own problems in it's own lane, or it is an illegal lane change.
Don't try and change reality, because you like tech, the "well what about this scenario" is the reality on the road right now.

Who was at fault in the tesla death with beta tech and a heavy warning?

I now understand the logic by which people buy guns to protect themselves from being shot!
Thank you.

Again I disagree and so does anyone who understands the technology.
Tesla as I said took a chance releasing beta tech to the public. This is so start gathering information to make the system better faster. I am.not sure it's ethical bit it will expedite the process.
If all vehicles have this tech it will be very much safer in most situations.
Drunk driving. Gone
Tired driving gone
Distracted driving gone.
The car will understand and be souch more sensitive than you with a wheel and pedal. It's basic understanding of the chain reaction of response. It will feel the black ice before your steering wheel, it may already know the ramp is icy from the car before you, the tractor trailer will see you and know your spinning out...
Now releasing it as a beta you have a point.
