In 1963, a man noticed his chickens disappearing through a hole in his basement.

He knocked through the wall, revealing what is hard to believe: a 20,000-person city, deep below ground.

It was built by Christians over 1,000 years ago... (thread) 🧵

#天下專欄 [自駕計程車因遵守交通法規而傷害行人 到底是誰的錯？] 美國時間 10 月 2 日晚間，在舊金山發生了一起不幸的車禍，一位女性行人在過馬路時被人類駕駛的汽車撞擊，而後向旁跌落到另一台正在行進、由通用汽車旗下 Cruise 營運的自駕計程車前，自駕車來不及反應，造成該行人被斬輾後卡在車下，偵測到車底有異物，自駕車必須停止，但礙於法規，它得向路邊停靠以免阻礙交通，因此，在自駕車停靠的過程中，車下的行人又被拖行 6 公尺，過程中她大聲慘叫，是個難以想像的悲慘情境。

事件後不久，Cruise 被勒令停止在舊金山的無人計程車業務，接著美國公路交通局介入調查，很快的通用自願召回全美共 950 輛自駕計程車，以修正其軟硬體缺陷。

問題是，若不是第一台車的人類輕率駕駛，該行人不會路倒，而如果不是交通法規，自駕車不會需要靠邊，也就不會把已經受傷的行人拖行 6 公尺。

這讓我想到哲學家菲利帕·福特 (Philippa Foot) 在 1967 年發表，著名的電車問題 (The Trolley Problem) —— 當一輛失速電車在軌道狂奔，遠方卻有 5 個人被綁在鐵軌上，眼看電車若不停下，這 5 人將會慘死，此時軌道不遠處有一個道岔，如果使用人工扳道器，可讓電車往另一個車道前進，則 5 人將會獲救，問題是，在另一個軌道遠方，又有一個政要被綁在鐵道上，電車往該方向奔馳，大官肯定喪命。此時，若你站在這個扳道器前方，會如何抉擇？

這是一個艱難的題目，因為無論電車轉向與否，都得有重大犧牲，所以答案沒有絕對對錯，只有道德的抉擇。近年來，當自駕車開始逐漸可能，福特電車問題的各種變形，開始被拿來研究、推導自駕演算法的設計準則，其中最有名的是麻省理工多媒體實驗室的「道德機器」(The Moral Machine)，收集了全球超過 4,000 萬筆資料，並分析出不同地區、文化、族群，面對這些兩難問題的選擇偏向。

回到本次 Cruise 事件，如果自駕車未靠往路邊，將會造成後方交通堵塞，或許有人急著就醫，也或許有消防車趕著救火，是典型的電車問題。若沒考慮整體，將見樹不見林。但到底該選哪條鐵道，每個社群必須經歷大量研究討論，得出自己的答案。
