Many robotic applications require human-like behaviour of an artificial agent and quite often
include mixed (human-robot) control set-up for effective operation and to meet regulatory …

Self-driving vehicles (SDVs)–above the SAE automation level 4–are designed to operate
without human intervention [1]. Due to the expected advantages attributed to SDVs, such as …

Modifications to the design of vehicles and road infrastructures have improved road safety
significantly over the past decades, but all such developments depend upon user …

Autonomous vehicles (AVs) are widely believed to be good for improving transportation
safety and efficiency. However, recent fatal accidents by some of their prototypes remind us …

The introduction of autonomous vehicles (AVs) is expected to reduce the number of road
traffic accidents; however, it is expected that this will not be completely incidents free. In the …

Abstract Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) have significant ethical and safety implications.
Questions of informed consent and risk acceptance are of primary importance, as is an …

The safety argument is perhaps the most widely cited argument in favor of the rapid
development and widespread adoption of automated vehicles (AVs). Versions of this …

Automated driving raises an interesting set of ethical questions not necessarily about who is
to blame when something goes wrong (Lin 2015). Rather, we can ask who should make the …

The design of highly automated and autonomous vehicles faces severe challenges from
multiple interacting complex technology, manufacturing and regulatory environments. As a …
