Too lazy to sit behind the wheel? The ethics behind fully self-driving cars.

The development of self driving cars has launched debates about the ethical implications of removing the actual assistance of a human behind the wheel. Although autonomous vehicles could reduce accidents and be more efficient than actual humans, concerns are still present regarding safety, responsibility and actual decision-making. Should autonomous vehicles function without any human assistance or intervention to handle risks? This problem can be interpreted using the ethical frameworks of utilitarianism, deontology and virtue ethics, proposing different solutions to this dilemma.
