Autonomous machines are becoming more and more involved in our lives. By interacting with their environment, these machines are able to perform certain tasks without human intervention. With this ability, they are used in tasks requiring human labor in many sectors. Driverless cars, for example, are expected to reach a level of autonomy that enables them to perform a journey without any need for a human being in the near future. Autonomous machines while performing a specific task are making specific decisions for each of their actions. It is very important to ensure that the machines can make "right‟ decisions since the consequences of their actions may affect human beings directly. Therefore, it is important that the autonomous vehicles on the traffic act ethically when faced with a conflict.
