Driverless cars
Ethical Issues
When a driver takes their car out onto the road, they will eventually be forced to make moral and ethical decisions. These decisions can impact their safety and others around them. The driver might choose to adjust the heater controls, adjust the radio, they might speed to overtake, accelerate through amber lights to avoid harsh braking which may cause them to fall short of the crossing. All these decisions have ethical components, which is why concern is developed when driverless cars have a variation of sensors and pre-programmed logic (Kirkpatrick , 2015).
