Autonomous Vehicle Legislation As legislators draft new laws and automakers develop new autonomous vehicle technologies, both groups often rely upon a consensus of expert opinions with regard to the ethics and responsibilities of these new innovations. They use these agreed-upon sets of policies and standards to shape and guide their development of new technologies and the laws that apply to them. Draft a set of policies for autonomous vehicles that address situations like those described in the "trolley problem" or the video from the last lesson. You will develop a set of policies that should be clear enough and detailed enough that lawmakers could use them as the basis for drafting new legislation and carmakers could use them as guides for developing new self-driving algorithms for their automobiles. Initially, as an entire class, you will discuss the issues related to autonomous vehicles and brainstorm ideas and the goals that you wish your policies to achieve. Next, you will divide into small groups, with each group focusing on the development of one or two policy ideas in detail. Finally, the groups will share their results with the full class who will then discuss, revise, and select the various policy ideas that will make up the standards for the class' overall, recommended autonomous vehicle policy. As you develop and discuss your new policies, you should make sure to generalize your definitions such that they can apply to a broad variety of scenarios. It would be helpful to consider examples of similar scenarios to which your policy should apply and those to which it should not apply. Your policies should include the following elements: Use clear and precise language. Clearly describe the conditions/scenarios to which the policy applies and does not apply. Clearly state how difficult decisions, such as in the "trolley problem", should be made according to your policy. Focus on how to determine what the "correct" decision is and how that decision might be enforced, both in law and in code. Submit You may be reviewed on class participation for this exercise. Once you've completed this in class simply type "Complete" in the text box and submit. If you are not able to do this exercise in class, draft 5-10 new policies around autonomous technology using the prompts above, and explain why those laws should be implemented.
