ABSTRACT

Level 3 automated driving car is coming. The most crucial issue in safety management of level 3 automated driving car is considered to be reducing risks in takeover, where a driver takes the control back from an automated driving system(ADS). Takeover may undermine not only a driver’s own but also others’ rights and freedom, it raises an serious ethical concern. However, implementing safe takeover is facing a number of technical problems. This article attempts to analyze ethical, normative implications of such problems. Through this analysis, one might find out what specific obligations of both the driver and ADS have. To this end, first, this article surveys the definition of level 3 automated driving car, the notion of takeover and related concepts. Second, the problem of individual differences in takeover and that of driver monitoring are presented, and norms they suggest are articulated. Both tell us that for safe takeover, ADS is obliged to be personalized and the driver is obliged to comply. These observations indicate the importance of diriver-vehicle coordination that has not been emphasized enough so far in ethical approaches to automated driving car.
