Beyond the technological challenge they represent, ‘autonomous cars’ confront us with an unprecedented moral issue. For autonomy, in the strongest sense, belongs only to human beings, capable of setting their own rules for action. A machine, no matter how sophisticated, simply executes what has been encoded in it. The question of the illusory responsibility of […]
In France, over 20 million people live in areas with limited access to public transport.
