In this paper, I make two controversial claims. First, autonomous vehicles are de facto moral machines by building their decision architecture on necessary risk quantification and second, that in doing so they are inadequate moral machines. Moreover, this moral inadequacy presents significant risks to society. The paper engages with some of the key concepts in Autonomous Vehicle decisionality literature to reframe the problem of moral machine for Autonomous Vehicles. This is defended as a necessary step to access the meta questions that underlie Autonomous vehicles as machines making high value decisions regarding human welfare and life.
