Abstract

This paper addresses the ethical challenges in the development and deployment of autonomous vehicles. It explores the moral implications of decision-making algorithms, especially in situations involving potential harm. The research also examines regulations and frameworks that guide ethical AI in transportation. By incorporating perspectives from technology developers, ethicists, and policymakers, the study aims to foster comprehensive discussions on the responsibilities accompanying the advancement of autonomous vehicle technology.
