       \emph{Ethical behavior is behavior that while not always for the better for the individual is beneficial for society as a whole.}

+   The paper defines four different definitions for ethics in the case of autonomous vehicles (AVs).
+   All of these involve protecting the human cargo that vehicles contain if they would ever fail.
+   While oversimplified this can also be extrapolated to protecting non-human cargo by replacing ``human being'' with something else.
+
+   The first social norm (SN) is as follows:
    \begin{quote}
       \emph{(SN-0) A robot (or AI or AV) will never harm a human being.}
    \end{quote}
-   
+   The paper correctly defines SN-0 as being practically impossible, as there are some instances where harm cannot be avoided.
+   Dealing with this, SN-1 directly supersedes SN-0.
    \begin{quote}
-      \emph{(SN-1) A robot will never deliberately harm a human being.}
+      \emph{(SN-1) A robot will never \textbf{deliberately} harm a human being.}
    \end{quote}

+   This law is incomplete without its corollary:
    \begin{quote}
-      \emph{(SN-2) In a given situation, a robot will be no more likely than a skilled and alert human 
-      to accidentally harm a human being.}

+   Both SN-1 and SN-2 are alternate tallings of both the Hippocratic oath and Asimov's first law of robotics
