Title

Ethical Principles for CAVs: towards a no-blame safety culture

Abstract

In spite of a solid framework of EU legislation already in place at EU and national level, certain specific features of AI make enforcement of such rules more challenging. This presentation will highlight the principles adopted by the EC Expert Group, to which the author participated, on "Ethics of Connected and Automated Vehicles: Recommendations on road safety, privacy, fairness, explainability and responsibility" (link: New recommendations for a safe and ethical transition towards driverless mobility | European Commission (europa.eu). Then, the EC Proposal for the AI Act's impact on CAVs manufacturers will be described regarding: human oversight, cybersecurity and access to data and documentation. However, an international approach of ethics remains essential to achieving widespread deployment and adoption of CAVs.
