The Dilemma Generated by Automated Driving Considered from Ethical Aspect

摘要

Automated driving technology breaks the "human-vehicle-road" model in the past few years and also breaks down the original ethical guidelines. Along with the development of automated driving technology, a series of ethical issues have shown up. This paper analyzes the typical scenarios related to ethical issues of automated vehicles in the mixed road traffic. In these extreme scenarios, e.g., when facing at least two different vulnerable road users, automated vehicles have to impact "who" and meanwhile avoid "who." In the next step, some feasible solutions are discussed through theoretical analysis. Once these ethical and moral dilemmas can be figured out, the automated vehicles will be just around the comer.
