Experts believe that self-driving cars will be much safer than conventional cars. However, there will still be some accidents, even fatal ones. The innovation of self-driving cars gives us the new, amazing, and, at the same time, arduous opportunity to decide in advance what should happen in which accident situation. It will force us to decide who must die in order to save others in dilemma situations.

This book prepares readers to take an informed stance on the difficult moral dilemmas involving self-driving cars. It will convince them that the ethical and legal challenges posed by self-driving cars are real, novel, and unavoidable—and that they require a solution. It presents the problems involved in programming self-driving cars for dilemma situations, putting the reader in the position to develop their own well-informed opinion on the issues. The book also discusses the astonishing discrepancies between existing regulations for collisions involving self-driving cars in some jurisdictions and empirical findings about what people think about how they should be regulated. Finally, it presents advice for policymakers around the globe on how to regulate moral dilemmas involving self-driving cars.

Moral Dilemmas Involving Self-Driving Cars will be of interest to a broad range of students, scholars, and policymakers interested in the ethics of self-driving vehicles.

This book is located at the intersection of constitutional law and political science and uses legal network analysis to shed light on hitherto unseen aspects of the citation practices among constitutional courts in Europe. The collection enhances our understanding as to why certain European constitutional courts refer more and others less to the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) and the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) on the vertical level and other European constitutional courts on the horizontal level. Divided into two parts, the volume offers novel data on references between European constitutional courts. It provides a coherent and original methodological approach to analyze the case law and draws on research from political science and network analysis to inform the discussion of judicial “dialogue” between them, highlighting an asymmetric dimension. Featuring country-specific analysis by leading scholars, this work is an invaluable reference for academics, researchers, and policy-makers working in EU Law, Human Rights Law, Constitutional Law, and Politics.
