Experts believe that self-driving cars will be much safer than conventional cars. However, there will still be some accidents, even fatal ones. The innovation of self-driving cars gives us the new, amazing and, at the same time, arduous opportunity to decide in advance what should happen in which accident situation. It will force us to decide who must die in order to save others in dilemma situations.

This book prepares readers to take an informed stance on the difficult moral dilemmas involving self-driving cars. It will convince them that the ethical and legal challenges posed by self-driving cars are real, novel, and unavoidable—and that they require a solution. It presents the problems involved in programming self-driving cars for dilemma situations, putting the reader in the position to develop their own well-informed opinion on the issues. The book also discusses the astonishing discrepancies between existing regulations for collisions involving self-driving cars in some jurisdictions and empirical findings about what people think about how they should be regulated. Finally, it presents advice for policy makers around the globe on how to regulate moral dilemmas involving self-driving cars.

Moral Dilemmas Involving Self-Driving Cars will be of interest to a broad range of students, scholars, and policy makers interested in the ethics of self-driving vehicles.

Self-driving cars are coming quickly, so we need to control them somehow. To reduce their dangers, Paulo and Kirchmair deftly weave together contemporary moral psychology, the AI technology behind self-driving cars, and concrete proposals for policy and law. This book is a multi-disciplinary tour-de-force.

Do we really need self-driving cars, and how should they behave in risky situations? This clearly written and very engaging book tackles these intriguing questions head on. Norbert Paulo and Lando Kirchmair offer the reader an exciting whirlwind tour through the history of car crashes and transport us into the future of the ethics of autonomous driving. Along the way, both moral and legal issues are explored. Paulo and Kirchmair also investigate fascinating methodological questions about how we should approach the ethics of autonomous driving. At the end of the book, they offer clear-headed recommendations for policy makers. Given the widespread interest in the ethics of self-driving cars, it is somewhat surprising that while an enormous number of articles have been published on the subject, not many books have been published so far. Of the few books available on this important topic, this may very well be the best so far.

Julian Savulescu, National University of Singapore

This book is a timely contribution to the debate on the ethics of autonomous vehicles focusing on the importance of trolley-like scenarios. Well-written and well-argued, with practical recommendations.
