Automation technologies are fundamentally changing mobility and our relationship with driving, raising new and challenging ethical and legal questions. How should engineers, city planners, and policymakers respond to these new technologies? What tools are needed to empower engineers to develop automated mobility systems responsibly, given the various ethical values (e.g. privacy, fairness, responsibility) and democratic ideals (e.g. legitimacy, fundamental rights) we consider important in a mobility system? At CRAiEDL, we are exploring the various impacts that automated vehicles could have on individuals and society, and developing policy recommendations and tools to help define and shape responsible innovation in the mobility space.
