Automotive Ethics Laboratory

Fully Automated Vehicles (AVs) can eliminate brakes and steering wheels, that is, human drivers. AVs of the highest level may have human occupants, but no human drivers. The acquired skill of driving a car or truck will migrate into the development of Automotive Artificial Intelligence (AAI). AAI will pilot cargo (including humans) through traffic more securely and efficiently than the current system of manned vehicles. It will perceive and evaluate rapidly changing traffic situations much faster and more comprehensively than a human brain. Hence, it will steer AVs more competently and with fewer accidents.

Technology and Engineering Education

Technology and Engineering Education

Our global economy and rapid rate of technological advances presents pressing challenges for our times. With technology being embedded in nearly all aspects of our lives, engineers and applied scientists need to be cognizant of the impact that those technologies have, on the individuals that use them and the societies they live within. The UN's Guiding Principles for Business and Human Rights, and current standards adopted by the organizations such as IEEE and the ACM, impel us to be more mindful of the need for diversity, equity and inclusion. They also encourage us to be more mindful of the impact of technologies on societies and the environment.
