Abstract

Automated vehicles are expected torevolutionise everyday travelwith anticipated benefits of improved road safety, comfort and mobility. However, they also raise complex ethical challenges. Ethical debates have primarily centredaround moral judgementsthat must be made by autonomous vehiclesin safety-critical situations,with proposed solutions typically based ondeontological prin-ciples or consequentialism. However, ethicsshould also be acknowledged in the design, development and deployment of partially-automated systems that invari-ably rely upon the human driverto monitor and intervene when required,even though theymay be ill-prepared to do so. In this literature review, we explore the lesser-discussed ethics associated with the roleof, and expectations placed upon, the human driver in partially-automated vehicles,discussing factors such asthe marketing and deployment of thesevehicles,and theimpact upon the human driver’s development of trust and complacency in automated functionality, con-cluding that the human driver must be kept ‘in the loop’ at all times.
