Who would you sacrifice?

From The Panel, 4:55 pm on 25 October 2018

Old people and animals should be sacrificed if an autonomous car crashes a new study has found. When the self-driving cars get into an accident, they'll be forced to decide who should die.

They'll be programmed to choose one group over another when deciding where to crash. The issue has become the main ethical problem for those designing the cars.

We ask the panelists what they think.
