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.
