VIRTUAL ROUNDTABLE

This roundtable discussion reflects a virtual dialog among the authors about ethical issues of autonomous vehicle (AV) design, which each of them has been investigating in different ways. (See “Roundtable Panelists” for more information about the panel.) Philip Koopman is an engineering professor at Carnegie Mellon University who is an expert on AV safety engineering. Benjamin Kuipers is professor of computer science and engineering at the University of Michigan, doing artificial intelligence (AI) research focused on domains of foundational knowledge, including ethics. William H. Widen is a law professor at the University of Miami School of Law who has been researching the relationship between securities law disclosure and ethics for AV companies related to the decision to deploy AV technology at scale. Marilyn Wolf is Koch Professor of Engineering and Director of the School of Computing at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln; her research interests include embedded computer vision.
