Definition
Extracted from facts primary
State in which a professional engineer is engaged in designing or evaluating the decision logic of an autonomous system, such as a driverless vehicle operating system, that must be pre-programmed to allocate harm among identifiable parties (passengers, pedestrians, cyclists, bystanders) in unavoidable crash scenarios, where the system's algorithmic choices constitute irreversible, pre-committed moral decisions about whose safety is prioritized, activating obligations to evaluate the ethical frameworks underlying those choices, disclose tradeoffs to the client, and consider public welfare implications beyond the immediate client relationship.

Activation Conditions:
  • Engineer assigned to evaluate autonomous vehicle decision logic
  • System design requires pre-programmed harm allocation among identifiable parties

Termination Conditions:
  • Recommendation formally submitted and accepted
  • Engineer disengages from the risk assessment team

Regulatory Standards Vacuum for Novel Product State
C165
Definition
Extracted from facts primary
State in which a professional engineer is tasked with making recommendations about the ethical decision logic of an autonomous vehicle system in the absence of established national, governmental, or industry-specific standards governing how such systems must allocate harm in unavoidable crash scenarios, leaving the engineer without a regulatory floor or ceiling against which to benchmark the recommendation, and placing the full burden of ethical determination on professional judgment, general engineering ethics principles, and public welfare obligations rather than specific code compliance.
Inherited from RegulatoryStandardsVacuumforNovelProductState · note
State in which a new consumer or industrial product has been developed and is undergoing or has completed safety evaluation, but no applicable national, governmental, or industry-specific safety standards yet exist to govern that product or its potential impact, leaving the engineer and company without a regulatory floor or ceiling against which to benchmark safety, and placing the full burden of safety determination on professional judgment, general testing protocols, and ethical obligation rather than specific code compliance.

Extracted from facts primary
State in which a professional engineer must recommend a design specification, specifically an algorithmic decision rule, that permanently and irrevocably pre-commits an autonomous system to prioritizing either the safety of the client's customers (vehicle passengers) or the safety of third parties (pedestrians, cyclists, bystanders) in unavoidable harm scenarios, where the choice cannot be individualized at the moment of the event and where the client's commercial interest in passenger safety marketing may conflict with the engineer's obligation to minimize aggregate public harm.

Activation Conditions:
  • Engineer must recommend a pre-programmed harm-allocation rule for an autonomous system
  • The rule will irrevocably prioritize one class of persons over another in unavoidable crash scenarios

  • Client adopts a harm-minimization standard satisfying both passenger and public welfare obligations
  • Engineer withdraws from the engagement
Obligation Activation:
  • Obligation to identify and disclose the conflict between client commercial interest and third-party public safety

  • Obligation to consider whether recommending a passenger-only protective algorithm is consistent with the paramount obligation to protect public health, safety, and welfare
  • Obligation to recommend that the client disclose the algorithmic choice to regulators, insurers, and the public

  • Must not allow client commercial interest to be the sole or primary determinant of the recommendation
