Ethics and Policy Implications for Inclusive Intelligent Transportation Systems

Research experiments and product deployments of QoLT technologies for independent transportation have unique and profound ethics and policy concerns. Experimenters who run field studies can easily recount anecdotes involving real (e.g., crashes) and hypothetical (e.g., participant questions) scenarios where personal privacy concerns and legal requirements come into tension. Product deployment brings a new set of issues due to the absence of IRB protections. Examples include, but are not limited to, tracking people as they use transit systems or drive around town, liability for semi and fully autonomous vehicle actions, and variable driving risk based on geographic location.
