Autonomous intelligent cars: proof that the EPSRC Principles are future-proof

摘要

Principle 2 of the EPSRC's principles of robotics (AISB workshop on Principles of Robotics, Citation2016) proves to be future proof when applied to the current state of the art of law and technology surrounding autonomous intelligent cars (AICs). Humans, not AICS, are responsible agents. AICs should be designed; operated as far as is practicable to comply with existing laws and fundamental rights and freedoms, including privacy by design. It will show that some legal questions arising from autonomous intelligent driving technology can be answered by the technology itself.
