Liability for Autonomous Driving

The project explores the efficient allocation of liability (among users, fleet owners, car makers, software authors, victims) of liability for accidents with autonomous vehicles. It draws on the standard discussions of the "tunnel problem", the "trolley problem", and the "helmet problem." Special focus is put on the question whether (and to which degree) users have to stay in control of the operation of their vehicle. A related question is whether navigation systems should be honest or deceptive.
