Abstract

AbstractThe first chapter provides a summary of the aims and contents of the book. It states its main objective—i.e., to study the ethics of driving automation in order to shed light on the relation between artificial agency and human values. It presents an overview of the main technical components of connected and automated vehicles, discusses different categorisations of their so-called “autonomy”, and argues that many of the reasons backing driving automation are indeed of an ethical kind. Since ethics is to be acknowledged as an essential element of the whole phenomenon, driving automation offers a valuable occasion to study the moral significance of artificial agency.
