MODULE
The online Social and Behavioral Implications of Autonomous Vehicles and Services module focuses on identifying a range of potential positive and negative implications that could result when autonomous vehicles (AV) and services are deployed in large volumes — including how these systems will be used; who they will serve; some of the remaining societal challenges; how operators are trained and informed; as well as new and continued safety considerations.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
- Understand that a number of societal challenges related to vehicle automation remain
- Outline a range of “unknowns” associated with how autonomous/highly automated vehicles and services might be used
- Illustrate that populations that could most benefit from vehicle automation are not necessarily those which the systems are being design for (at least yet)
- Describe how equity in mobility needs to be carefully considered when manufacturing and deploying autonomous vehicles
- Illustrate how vehicle safety will remain a challenge for decades to come, and some new safety challenges that will be created
