Driverless cars - the stuff of science fiction - are rapidly becoming reality. Indeed, some automotive companies have said they expect to sell autonomous vehicles to the general public by 2020. The arrival of such self-driving vehicles raises numerous ethical and legal questions that may have to be addressed before such cars can hit the road in significant numbers.
This case traces the history and evolution of auto safety in the United States, beginning with the very first automotive-related fatality on September 13, 1899 and finishing with a coming era in which, some call, people will be prohibited from driving their particular vehicles and machines will be obliged to have ethical systems.
