The Future is Now: Autonomous Vehicles, Trolley Problem(s) and How to Deal with Them.
summary
Panel maps the real engineering and legal specifics: staged autonomy levels, sensors and backend ecosystem players, and proposed tools like human impact assessments and event data recorders/black boxes. Claims include a projected safety drop to under 1% of today’s accident rate if adoption hits 90% autonomous usage. Major gaps: who holds liability, how device IDs and telemetry create personal data, surveillance risks across jurisdictions, and whether GDPR plus targeted standards or codes of conduct will be enough. Practical, policy-focused, and sceptical about the classic trolley framing.
