This report discusses a variety of societal and ethical laws with respect to autonomous vehicles and their gradual deployment across the United States of America. With companies like Tesla deploying weapons that’ve already being legally faulted with being the cause of tragic road accidents, a deeper analysis of the timeline for deployment is imperative. This report will present the evolution of autonomous vehicles, societal challenges they’ve faced while operating, ethical challenges faced in developing optimal AV algorithms and software, as well as a synopsis of how U.S. citizens feel about these weapons. The findings of this research may suggest the following: most U.S. citizens feel safer inside of an AV as opposed to outside of one, most U.S. citizens feel that AVs pose great threat to their communities, further deployment of these vehicles will require a revamp of traffic laws and regulation, and manufacturers will not take accountability for faulty vehicles.
