Workshop: Autonomous Vehicle Ethics: Beyond the Trolley Problem

Most of the work in the ethics of autonomous vehicles has so far concentrated on the variety of Trolley problems that arise in this area. However, it is time to move beyond these issues. The upcoming conference will  explore, among others, the following issues:

how the algorithms in autonomous vehicles might embed ethical assumptions in cases other than crash scenarios;

how autonomous vehicles might interact with human drivers in mixed or “hybrid” traffic environments;

how autonomous vehicles might reshape our cities and landscapes;

what unique security or privacy concerns are raised by autonomous vehicles;

whether long times spend in autonomous vehicles might lead to new kinds of alienation or loneliness;

how the benefits and burdens of this new technology will be distributed throughout society.
