Technology, ethics, society: the topic of autonomous driving may be considered from various perspectives. Can there be safe mobility for all without more traffic flows? What is technically feasible today? Who pushes further development? And why? Who is liable when an autonomously driving car causes an accident? How secure are self-driving cars from attacks by hackers? These and other interesting questions will be dealt with during the discussion evening organized by the Heidelberg Academy of Sciences in cooperation with KIT, ZKM, and KVV on September 23 in Karlsruhe. Interested citizens and representatives of the media are cordially invited. Kindly register at presse ∂does-not-exist.hadw-bw de.
