伦理影响:适用于特斯拉“自动驾驶”系统的ACM/IEEE-CS软件工程准则

Ethical Implications: The ACM/IEEE-CS Software Engineering Code applied to Tesla's "Autopilot" System

Kevin Vincent

摘要:

2015年10月14日,Tesla Inc.一家美国电动汽车公司,发布了Autopilot系统的初始版本。该系统承诺使用已经安装在特斯拉汽车上的现有硬件提供半自动驾驶。2018年3月23日,一辆特斯拉汽车以高速公路的速度撞上了一个隔离带,导致司机死亡。这是在Autopilot系统的控制下发生的,没有驾驶员干预。批评人士认为,尽管特斯拉在其用户手册中向驾驶员发出警告,但发布一个以自动驾驶仪销售的系统,但仍然会犯任何人类驾驶员都不会犯的严重错误,这最终是不道德的。其他人则为特斯拉辩护,称他们的自动驾驶仪是合适的,司机最终应该为自动驾驶仪的任何错误承担责任。本文将仔细研究特斯拉选择开发、营销和交付需要广泛测试的测试版产品的道德影响。它将进一步分析特斯拉以Autopilot的名义对该产品进行积极广告的影响以及相关的营销材料。通过应用联合ACM/IEEE-CS软件工程道德准则,本文将表明特斯拉在此事件中的选择和行为与准则不一致,是不道德的,因为他们有责任充分测试和诚实地营销他们的产品。

英文摘要:

On October 14, 2015, Tesla Inc. an American electric car company, released the initial version of the Autopilot system. This system promised to provide semi-autonomous driving using the existing hardware already installed on Tesla vehicles. On March 23rd, 2018, a Tesla vehicle ran into a divider at highway speed, killing the driver. This occurred under the control of the Autopilot system with no driver intervention. Critics argue that though Tesla gives drivers warnings in its owner's manual, it is ultimately unethical to release a system that is marketed as an Autopilot yet still makes grave mistakes that any human driver would not make. Others defend Tesla by stating that their advisories are suitable and that drivers should ultimately be at fault for any mistakes of the Autopilot. This paper will scrutinize the ethical implications of Tesla's choice to develop, market, and ship a beta product that requires extensive testing. It will further analyze the implications of Tesla's aggressive advertisement of the product under the name Autopilot along with associated marketing materials. By applying the joint ACM/IEEE-CS Software Engineering Code of Ethics, this paper will show that Tesla's choices and actions during this event are inconsistent with the code and are unethical since they are responsible for adequately testing and honestly marketing their product.
