Task,
Driverless Cars,
Overview:
The purpose of this task is to encourage students to explore a variety of ethical theories and apply them to a contemporary ethical issue in an area of social computing.
Background:
A driverless car is a robotic vehicle that is designed to travel between destinations without a human operator. Companies developing and/or testing driverless cars include Audi, BMW, Ford, Google, General Motors, Volkswagen and Volvo. Google’s test involved a fleet of self-driving cars navigating over 140,000 miles of California streets and highways. A single accident occurred during one of the infrequent occasions when a human was driving.
Researchers at MIT are asking people worldwide how they think a robot car should handle life-or-death decisions. Their goal is not just for better algorithms and ethical tenets to guide autonomous vehicles, but to understand what it will take for society to accept the vehicles and use them. Their findings present a dilemma for car makers and governments eager to introduce self-driving vehicles on the promise that they’ll be safer than human-controlled cars. People prefer a self-driving car to act in the greater good, sacrificing its passenger if it can save a crowd of pedestrians. They just don’t want to get into that car. “There is a real risk that if we don’t understand those psychological barriers and address them through regulation and public outreach, we may undermine the entire enterprise,” said Iyad Rahwan, an associate professor at the MIT Media Lab. “People will say they’re not comfortable with this. lt would stifle what I think will be a very good thing for humanity.”
Requirements
Students are required to undertake an ethical analysis of issues associated driverless cars from a software developer, business or government context. Students will prepare a business style report of approximately 2000 words, which analyses driverless cars through the lens of each of the FOUR (4) ethical philosophies presented in lectures, and ONE (1) element selected from the Australian Computer Societys (ACS) code of ethics.
