Teagan is a 21-year-old woman and living with her partner, Amita. Teagan and Amita have been together for 15 months; their relationship is volatile, and they have separated a number of times. Last night, Teagan broke up with Amita again in a fiery exchange of insults and anger. Teagan believed that Amita was about to leave her and fearing this relationship breakdown, she thought she would ‘get in first’. Amita admits things have been tumultuous between them for months now, and that neither is happy, but wanted to work things out by seeing a relationship counsellor. Amita is also concerned about Teagan’s use of cannabis. Amita claims that Teagan’s responses to small indiscretions are extreme and that she is quick to make judgements about people or situations with little information. Recently, Teagan decided that a friend of Amita’s wasn’t allowed to come to their house because she had made some ‘throwaway’ comments about their dog. Amita says Teagan does this often, liking people quickly for frivolous reasons, and disliking others for similar reasons. Teagan has been cutting herself since she was 13 years old. She finds it difficult to articulate why she does it, only that she gets relief from cutting. On a few occasions she has contemplated suicide, and many more times she has threatened it. Amita finds this aspect of their relationship very difficult to deal with and frequently feels as though Teagan’s threats to self-harm or suicide are a way of manipulating her.

In a situation where a driverless car is out of control and I am faced with killing myself or five pedestrians, I would sacrifice myself. When purchasing the vehicle, drivers are aware of the risks that come with it as machines are never 100% safe. Although driverless cars were manufactured with the intention of lowering the number of accidents on the road, this does not guarantee that the machine will not malfunction. Those who purchase these vehicles agree to the possibility of the vehicle going out of control and possibly killing themselves in the process. Knowing this, in the case that the machine experiences mechanical failure, the driver who purchased the vehicle should sacrifice themselves in the situation rather than sacrificing the life of five innocent people who did not agree to the terms of trusting their life with a machine.

When society mixes driverless cars with human-driven cars, there is the consequence of humans losing the ability to make decisions. Instead of the driver making the decision of who to kill in the situation, the car makes the decision instead. Not only that, the situation then becomes black and white with only two possible options, killing the driver or the 5 pedestrians as machines are only programmed to think a certain way. Human minds on the other hand, are more flexible and able to think in a different direction. They are able to make the decision of veering in a different direction or finding an option that amounts to the least detrimental effects on everyone in the situation. Rather than relying on machines and being restricted to a selected amount of options in an emergency situation, humans should drive themselves and make their own decisions.
