Workshop objectives

In a brainstorming session during a recent seminar on future automotive user interfaces (Dagstuhl 16262, http://www.dagstuhl.de/16262), a large number of mentions belonged to the broader field of trust, acceptance and ethics related to automated driving. In that seminar, we did not have time to discuss all of these topics, but we realized that there is no common understanding on terms and definitions and how to develop them for the future. As it turned out to be very controversial but also of high importance for the success of automated driving, we agreed to propose this workshop to concretize the topic. There are three central problem fields surrounding ethical issues in HMI for automated driving:

  • How do we arrive at ethically sound decisions in everyday situations as well normative conflicting ones? How can such decision rules be translated into decision making algorithms for automated vehicles?
  • How can ethically relevant decision making parameters be visualized in a vehicle to support decision making for humans (or in other words: Could there be a "speedometer" for ethics in automated vehicles?
  • Who should be the one to make these decisions, especially in situations with potentially fatal consequences? Humans (strong intuition, unreliable, consistent with Asimov's first rule) or Machines (good at calculations, reliable, inconsistent with Asimov's first rule)?
