DESCRIPTION:Autonomous vehicles have the potential to transform not just th
 e technology but the sociology of our roads. The public has been captivate
 d by the question of how these vehicles will solve ethical dilemmas. One b
 road school of effort uses "trolley problems" -- thought experiments where
  an AV must choose who to hurt -- as a method for thinking about how AVs s
 hould behave. But in the real world\, are trolley problems the right way t
 o think about safety? Or are they simultaneously too pessimistic and too o
 ptimistic\, vastly underestimating the risk of certain failure modes while
  focusing attention on overwhelmingly unlikely and avoidable failures? I a
 rgue the latter\, and present a framework for thinking in a practical\, de
 ployment oriented way about how AVs should behave around humans.\n\nCo-spo
