The sources in this article focus on the design of autonomous cars rather than on this specific dilemma. Effectively, this would remove the notable aspect of this particular article, so it should either go or be merged with a relevant topic. ««« SOME GADGET GEEK »»» (talk) 19:51, 16 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. A thought experiment that has captured the academic, professional, and perhaps public imagination. Plenty of sources are available. Even before we delve into the academic literature, here's a post by Roger Crisp (a highly notable philosopher) on the Oxford University Practical Ethics blog; there's discussion in The Times; and all the stuff from Robohub is indicative of how significant this has become. I'm really quite puzzled by this nomination, which appears out-of-process anyway; if you think this should be merged, why are you nominating it for deletion?

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Keep Appears to be notable, concept discussed in books [1][2] and other articles already mentioned. Should satisfy WP:GNG. Hzh (talk) 13:34, 23 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The premise of the nomination is wrong. The article is not about the design of cars. It is about a philosophical issue relevant to whether the design of the autonomous aspects of autonomous cars is too important to be left to the designers. Thincat (talk) 15:33, 23 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
