Technological advances are enabling roles for machines that present novel ethical
challenges. The study of'AI ethics' has emerged to confront these challenges, and connects …

In this article, we propose a nonlinear receding horizon game-theoretic planner for
autonomous cars in competitive scenarios with other cars. The online planner is specifically …

This article presents a systematic literature review documenting how technical investigations
have been adapted in value sensitive design (VSD) studies from 1996 to 2023. We present …

Autonomous driving in urban areas requires avoiding other road users with only partial
observability of the environment. Observations are only partial because obstacles can …

One of the primary, if not most critical, difficulties in the design and implementation of
autonomous systems is the black-boxed nature of the decision-making structures and logical …

Most engineers work within social structures governing and governed by a set of values that
primarily emphasise economic concerns. The majority of innovations derive from these loci …

Safe autonomous driving in urban areas requires robust algorithms to avoid collisions with
other traffic participants with limited perception ability. Current deployed approaches relying …

This paper argues that the Value Sensitive Design (VSD) methodology provides a principled
approach to embedding common values into AI systems both early and throughout the …

Vehicle-pedestrian interaction (VPI) is one of the most challenging tasks for automated
driving systems. The design of driving strategies for such systems usually starts with …

We call attention to the challenges associated with Global South women's safety in public
transportation and investigate the potential of autonomous vehicles (AVs) in providing them …
