Mike and Josh discuss robot ethics. In particular, they look at Isaac Asimov’s ‘Three Laws of Robotics’ and ask whether they’re still relevant today.

In this episode, Mike and Josh continue their chat about autonomous or self-driving cars, and venture into the world of ethics. Just who would you kill given the choice: a passenger, or a pedestrian? This is but one of the many difficult decisions to be made by the programmers responsible for autonomous cars.
