Ethics and Risks Associated With Self-Driving Automobiles
Abstract
Autonomous vehicles are already on public roadways and may present hazards well beyond simply allowing a car or truck to drive itself. As the automobile industry prepares to add even more “smart” technologies, it is prudent to investigate the ethics behind what can be lethal machinery. Radar, LiDAR, sensors, cameras, and other technologies are briefly explored along with levels of automation and current standards that are supposed to apply to components. Central to the purpose of this investigation is the telling of individual stories in which drivers, passengers, and pedestrians have died or otherwise experienced life-changing events. Some positive effects are apparent, but whether machine learning can appropriately make life-and-death decisions is yet to be accepted by society. Other facets include economic and environmental complications, human behaviors, company responsibilities, and the need for legal guidance in a field that currently mostly operates on recommendations.
