CATV Ethics & Policy Workshop: Human Takeover & Safety

PPRI CATV Ethics & Policy Workshop Series

Workshop 2: Human Takeover & Safety calls for participants to answer the questions:
 - What do we currently know about human takeover and      safety of CATV?
 - What do we still need to know?
 - What are potential ethical and societal implications?
 - How can policy support innovation that serves the              public good?

Background
Purdue Discovery Park’s Purdue Policy Research Institute (PPRI), along with the Howard Baker Forum, hosted a roundtable discussion at the U.S. Capitol with policymakers, industry leaders, academics, and other stakeholders to talk about the complex issues surrounding connected and autonomous transportation vehicles (CATV). The four areas identified to be of most concern are: (1) Security, Cybersecurity, and Infrastructure; (2) Human Takeover and Safety; (3) Ethics in Algorithms; and (4) Workforce Impacts.

This is the second in a series of four workshops which PPRI is hosting to address each of these four areas of concern. Each workshop will produce a report to be shared with workshop participants and the interested parties from the U.S Capitol roundtable.
