Overview

Objectives:

Our project will have three key results:

  1. Innovation of empirical methods: Modelling of social dilemmas involving the collisions of autonomous vehicles, and visualization for an online survey.
  2. The very first research into moral intuitions concerning the autonomous vehicles‘ driving software and a research into customers‘ preferences. We shall detect the moral intuitions of Czech drivers and offer solutions for harmonizing new driving programs with social ethical norms.
  3. Further applications: Proposals for implementing the conduct of robotic agents in the moments of crisis. These proposals will help not merely in developing driving software and legislation, but also in situations with additional degrees of freedom—e.g. designing a general AI which is required to act morally.
