Part 1: Man and machine

  • User-centered design (?)
  • Automated driving in its social, historical and cultural contexts; symbolism of cars, utopian/dystopian vision, cultural shift, portrayal of AVs in films/literature
  • Why ethics matter; trolley problem, ethical decision-making (human vs machine), crash-optimization, consequentialism vs deontology (moral frameworks)
  • Implementable ethics for AVs; cost functions, balancing ethical priorities, consequentialism vs deontology, practical challenges
  • The interaction between humans and AVs; mental models, changes in cognitive demands on drivers, role shift and supervisory control
  • Communication (problems) between AVs and human drivers; non-verbal communication and challenges in this for AVs, mixed traffic environments, cross-cultural communication and its challenges, vehicle-to-human interaction

Part 2: Mobility

  • Political, legal, social, and sustainable dimenions; regulation and innovation, ethical and legal concerns such as liability, data protection, regulatory framework for integration of AVs, and global perspectives
  • New mobility concepts; changing mobility needs (carsharing/ridesharing), and impact of AVs on carsharing (valet parking, vehicle-on-demand, full automation)
  • Deployment scenarios; improving safety, efficiency, extended mobility, comfort and convenienve, evolutionary vs revolutionary vs transformative scenarios, technical challenges
  • Autonomous driving and urban land use; regenerative/intelligent city, hypermobile city, endless city, autonomous private cars vs autonomous taxis as PT (vehicle-on-demand)
  • Automated driving from demand modeling perspective; choice of transport mode (socio-economic, cultural, spatial, transport availability, convenience, safety, social acceptance), Interstate Pilot, Valet parking, integrating AVs challenges,
  • Effects on the Vehicle concept;
  • Implementation of AMODs;

Part 3: Traffic

  • (the vehicle concept; how does it get from A to B, how does it work, how does it interact, first- and last-mile idea/mode of transportation from one point to another. What is a vehicle beyond something that moves you.)

Part 4: Safety and security

Part 5: Law and liability
