🖼️ Framing the Debate

Most people don’t think that engineering relates to philosophical topics you’d learn about in liberal arts classes.

Nothing could be further from the truth! Great engineers often think deeply about the moral and cultural implications of their inventions.

On the next page we’re going to listen to two sides of an Intelligence Squared debate regarding driverless vehicles.

The Debates Will Cover:

• If self-driving cars can ever be safe
• If these cars will hurt the environment
• How should we deal with the Trolley Problem

In each section, you’ll listen to an audio clip of experts in this field describing their views on the topic. Then, you will form your own opinion and discuss your stance on the issues either with others in-person or in the thoughts section on the page.
