Abstract:
Mobility is associated with driving a vehicle. Age-related declines in the abilities
of older persons present certain obstacles to safe driving. The negative effects of
driving cessation on older adults’ physical, mental, cognitive, and social functioning
are well reported. Automated driving solutions represent a potential solution to
promoting driver persistence and the management of fitness to drive issues in older
adults. Technology innovation influences societal values and raises ethical questions.
The advancement of new driving solutions raises overarching questions in
relation to the values of society and how we design technology (a) to promote positive
values around ageing, (b) to enhance ageing experience, (c) to protect human
rights, (d) to ensure human benefit and (e) to prioritise human well-being. To this
end, this chapter reviews the relevant ethical considerations in relation to assisted
driving solutions. Further, it presents a new ethically aligned system concept for
assisted driving. It is argued that human benefit, well-being and respect for human
identity and rights are important goals for new automated driving technologies.
Enabling driver persistence is an issue for all of society and not just older adult.
