Engineering Ethics and Real-Time Decision-Making in Autonomous Vehicles

Abstract:

This talk examines the intersection of engineering ethics and real-time decision-making in autonomous vehicles, highlighting how safety-critical systems must be designed to operate reliably under time-sensitive conditions. It explores the principles guiding ethical system behavior, including fail-safe mechanisms, predictability, and accountability in software and hardware interactions. By addressing the need for transparency, traceability, and robust system design, the session outlines how ethical engineering practices contribute to the safe deployment of autonomous vehicle technologies.
