Abstract

This study aims to analyze the importance of key elements and clauses of the preliminary ethical guideline for Automated Vehicles(AV) using the Analytic Hierarchy Process(AHP). Reflecting previous researches on AV ethical guideline, we developed the questionnaire for the AHP survey. According to the AHP results of key elements and detailed clauses, Protecting human dignity and life are most important as a top priority in overall clauses. Also, clauses related to the user's liability are high priorities, but clauses related to the administrator's liability are low priorities. These results implied that the government should enact a law and draw up an ethical guideline in a neutral attitude to respect the private areas and enjoy the public interests. In order to declare Korean ethical guidelines and improve social acceptance, it is necessary to conduct a seminar and make an educational program, also gather the opinions of citizens and experts.

본 연구는 한국형 자율주행자동차 윤리 가이드라인 제정에 앞서, 제안된 윤리 가이드라인 초안을 구성하는 항목에 대한 중요도를 확인하고자 핵심 요소와 세부항목에 대한 설문조사 결과를 활용하여 계층화 분석을 수행하였다. 분석 결과, 인간의 존엄성과 생명을 최우선으로 보장해야함을 내포한 문항의 중요도가 높게 평가되었으며, 사고 발생을 미연에 방지하고 사고가 발생하였을 때 차량 이용자의 책임이 있어야한다는 중요도가 높게 평가되었다. 그러나 정부부처 및 관리자의 역할에 대해서는 중요도가 낮게 평가되었는데, 이는 법적 규제를 통한 무조건적인 규제 대신 개인의 영역을 존중하고 공공의 이익을 동시에 향유할 수 있는 방안을 도출할 필요가 있다는 의견으로 사료된다. 향후 자율주행자동차의 윤리 가이드라인의 제정을 위해서는 지속적인 의견수렴 및 항목의 보완과 함께 관련 교육 및 세미나 등을 통해 사회적 수용성을 확보할 수 있는 방안을 강구해야 할 것으로 판단된다.
