About this ebook
This book explores the significance of automated vehicles from a Chinese perspective, bringing a wide range of scholarship to bear on the question. This project takes a deep dive into Chinese ethical and legal perspectives on automated vehicles, providing a valuable resource for the general public. It also prompts readers to compare and contrast Chinese and Western viewpoints regarding the use of automated vehicles as future transportation and their impact on human-machine relationships. By dedicating individual chapters to specific issues such as programming, safety, liability, privacy, and data protection, this book enables policymakers and general readers to gain a clear understanding of the societal implications of automated vehicles shaped by culture and law. Additionally, by including survey results from two representative Chinese cities with distinct cultural and legal backgrounds, it caters to the need for insights into general Chinese perspectives on the ethical and legal issues surrounding automated vehicles. This book will interest policymakers, technologists and scholars.
