Title: The Psychological Dilemmas of Autonomous Vehicles.

Abstract:
Autonomous vehicles promise to revolutionize transportation and
substantially improve safety. But they also made salient an ethical
question: how should an algorithm decide relative risk in situations of
unavoidable harm? I present a series of psychological studies that explore
how people think about such scenarios, and discuss the regulatory
challenges these studies reveal. I also describe a crowdsourcing effort
that engaged millions of people worldwide with the ethical questions facing
car makers and regulators.
