About the Round Table

Ethics & Legal Challenges of Automated Driving in Europe

Organized by VIRTUAL VEHICLE   

March 2nd, 2021

09:30 till 11:00 AM (CET)  

Remote Event via MS Teams

Once a vision from a distant future, new Level3 Autonomous Vehicles have become a reality – yet only from a technical point of view. A legal and normative solution for self-driving Level3 cars on a pan-European scale is overdue. To understand the problem and shortcomings, VIRTUAL VEHICLE has invited experts from various areas to join a round-table discussion. We look forward to an AI-mobility debate between law, ethics, industry, product assessment, and the insurance industry.

Topics

From different perspectives, we will discuss the challenges and solutions for autonomous vehicles in Europe. Some of the topics will be:

  • Europe is too slow: The European Union is making insufficient progress in the competition with China and the USA, and on another side, Europe has more top AI researchers per million inhabitants than the USA and China combined. Where is the problem? And when will we have the solution in the EU? How to speed up the process?
  • Standardization: Is global geographical and global time standardization in the EU possible? And which level of standardization is necessary?
  • Responsibility: Do we need to assign responsibility to somebody since the machine cannot be responsible reliable (see figure below)?
