The prospective introduction of autonomous cars into public traffic raises the question of how
such systems should behave when an accident is inevitable. Due to concerns with self …

Self‐driving cars hold out the promise of being much safer than regular cars. Yet they cannot
be 100% safe. Accordingly, they need to be programmed for how to deal with crash …

Self-driving cars hold out the promise of being safer than manually driven cars. Yet they
cannot be a 100% safe. Collisions are sometimes unavoidable. So self-driving cars need to …

In this paper, I will argue that automated vehicles should not swerve to avoid a person or
vehicle in its path, unless they can do so without imposing risks onto others. I will argue that …

Self-driving cars currently face a lot of technological problems that need to be solved before
the cars can be widely used. However, they also face ethical problems, among which the …

This article puts forward solutions to some of the ethical and legal dilemmas posed in the
current discussion on how to program crash algorithms in autonomous or self-driving cars …

Trolley cases are widely considered central to the ethics of autonomous vehicles. We
caution against this by identifying four problems.(1) Trolley cases, given technical limitations …

In 2021, Germany passed the first law worldwide that regulates dilemma situations with
autonomous cars. Against this background, this article investigates the permissibility of trade …

Suppose a driverless car encounters a scenario where (i) harm to at least one person is
unavoidable and (ii) a choice about how to distribute harms between different persons is …

There would seem to be a potential regulatory problem with the crash algorithms for
connected and autonomous vehicles that (normally)“kick in” should a crash be inevitable …
