Mapping critical issues Sample Clauses

Mapping critical issues. Automated cars are not good or bad per se. Instead, they “switch on” several ethical issues16 such as safety (in the sense of protection of life and protection of the environment), surveillance and privacy (data protection, ownership of data, confidentiality), freedom (autonomy, mobility, personality), and justice (accessibility). These values are mobilized by players in the field of automated cars as justifications of their social desirability and by sceptical voices as a motivation of their criticism (see § 3.1). Furthermore, these ideas of “goodness” and normative views about societal benefits are encoded in design choices and enacted in stakeholders’ practices (see § 3.2). It is crucial to note that not only some of the values are opposed to others in the discussions between proponents and opponents. Also, some of the values mobilized by proponents are conflicting with others. Safety VS comfort (of not having to drive) As explained above, safety is a key value for proponents of automated cars. The ideal of a “safe system” is encoded into technical choices about functionalities and technical specifications of the car. User-friendliness is another important value, since the human controller needs to be able to supervise the system in an easy and accessible way. User-friendliness, however, is also justified in terms of the aesthetics of the driving experience. Manufacturers want drivers to enjoy the driving experience allowing them to focus their attention also on other activities.17 The importance of the value of comfort and the possibility of multi-tasking is also illustrated by Google’s efforts of lobbying in Nevada state to support a xxxx that would allow occupants to be distracted while sitting behind the wheel and would not fine them for sending text messages (Xxxxxxxx, 2011; Markoff, 2011). Texting or being distracted allows automated car users to fully enjoy the “automated driving” experience that does not require their full attention. This is not always in line with the value of safety.18 Safety VS freedom As discussed above, safety in driving practices is promoted by automated cars, thanks to the design of specific functionalities. A classic example concerns the possibility of imposing speed limits in a vehicle’s design. Intelligent Speed Adaptation Systems have been tested in real environments as an enhancer of road safety (Oei & Xxxxx, 0000). This form of “techno-regulation” (van den Xxxx & Leenes, 2013) allows us to steer human behaviour acco...

Mapping critical issues. After the examination of the value in the artefact, we are now going to map out the critical issues that attach to da Vinci and its use. We believe that the main critical issues revolve around the following aspects.  Changes in human-human interactions  Safety  Autonomy  Justice and New Technologies  Responsibility  Privacy Before we go into detail about these aspects we mention, however, that this list is not exhaustive. It is hard to tell in advance which ethical problems da Vinci will give rise to in the future. The best we can do, at this stage, is to consider past experiences with surgical robots and learn lessons from earlier warnings about surgical devices that have been used in the past as, e.g., ROBODOC and XXXXXX (Xxxxxxx xx Xxxx, 2013).
