But what can go wrong? We’ll take a look on how people relate to AVs, we’ll assess the risks of self-driving cars through the looking-glass of ethics & immerse ourselves into an ethical design approach as a potential solution to everything we’re about to cover..
What decision does a self-driving car take in case of imminent, fatal accident? What happens in case of data poisoning if someone hacked the system and hijacked your car? And moreover, do you trust the technology enough to buy a self-driving car to begin with?
How do we govern AI decisions? How do we make sure that we can get what we expect, especially in situations that are life-critical?
