Unlike hypothetical trolley problem studies and an ongoing ethical dilemma with
autonomous vehicles, road users can face similar ethical dilemmas in real life. Swerving a …

Over the past several years, there has been considerable debate surrounding ethical
decision making in situations resulting in inevitable casualties. Given enough time and all …

Abstract “Trolley Problem Decision-Making” refers to deciding which of the two pedestrians
to hit on each side of the lane. Understanding how humans make trolley decisions provides …

No matter how safe automated driving will be in the future, there will remain situations where
an accident is unavoidable and vehicles will have to decide between options that all …

Is the ethics of autonomous vehicles (AVs) restricted to weighing lives in unavoidable
accidents? We argue that AVs distribute risks between road users in regular traffic situations …

Autonomous vehicles (AVs) will be on our roads soon. 1 How should they be programmed to
behave? The introduction of AVs will mark the first time that artificially intelligent systems …

Although developing successful autonomous vehicles for practical use is of interest, the
establishment of moral autonomous vehicles aligned with human values is also crucial. Prior …

Autonomous driving systems promise important changes for future of transport, primarily
through the reduction of road accidents. However, ethical concerns, in particular, two central …

Abstract Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) will soon be a reality on our roads. Up to now, their
standard behaviour is predetermined since it is the result of programmed algorithms. Under …

As the act of driving becomes increasingly automated, vehicles will encounter situations
where different objectives of safety, mobility, and legality will come into conflict. These …
