In September 2020, the European Commission published a set of twenty recommendations (Bonnefon et al., 2020) composed by an expert group (of which the author was a member) on the ethical development and deployment of connected and automated vehicles (CAVs). The report includes twenty recommendations addressing the ethics of connected and automated vehicles, covering dilemma situations, the creation of a culture of responsibility, and the promotion of data, algorithm and AI literacy through public participation. Some of the topics covered are road safety, privacy, fairness, explainability and responsibility.
