Autonomous vehicles originated from a mechanical engineering perspective, viewed as cars. However, for a car, the automation of the machine itself is not crucial; it can only function effectively by accounting for the road it drives on. The road we are traveling on today has not been constructed overnight; rather, it is the result of interactions with individuals that have led to the development of roads for humans, wagons, and cars. Therefore, for autonomous vehicles to operate fully on the road, both automobile automation and the necessary road infrastructure for autonomous driving must be developed in accordance with this automation. However, roads do not change easily overnight. For autonomous vehicles to truly achieve autonomy, we must reconsider the relationship between cause and effect. When cause and effect are reversed, the problem is never solved. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
In 2002, Nobel Prize-winning economist Daniel Kahneman conducted an experiment called the “Dictator Game”. It was 1986. One of the two subjects was given $20 to share with the other. The first condition was that the recipient could exercise his veto power if he did not like the distribution ratio, and then, the ruler ensured that the giver did not have the money. The second condition eliminated the veto. In the first condition, most people who gave money were divided in half. In the second condition, however, the giver had about 70% and shared only 30%. Most people think of fairness to vested interests between 50% and 70%. But, in some cases, even though the recipient had a veto, the giver had 90% and wanted to share only 10%. At that time, it was beneficial for the recipient to receive at least 10%, but by exercising the veto power, the giver did not have the money either. This is the moment of conflict between justice and rationality. People do not make decisions based on reason alon...
