Travel sickness of the passenger, lack of human control over driving, high level of complexity in construction and programming, possibility of technical failure, limited or no driving engagement are just some of the possible vulnerabilities when using an automated or an autonomous vehicle. There are also important benefits and clear advantages such as more time for relaxing, resting, sleeping, reading, or working during the travel. Therefore is a “must”, to study the process of designing and using automated vehicles in order to outline vulnerabilities which may provide the mitigating solutions. As majority of the studies regarding vulnerabilities of the automated vehicles consist in fundamental research investigations a SWOT analyse of vulnerabilities in designing and using autonomous cars is thus necessary. The present work investigates methodological and designing aspects for researching the vulnerabilities in the process of developing and implementing automated driving, based on SWOT approach, simulation tools, practical measurement, experimental testing, sampling, graphical modelling, programming, and ethical considerations. Moreover, some aspects of the SWOT method led by multiple engineering and ethical problems are brought up and highlighted. Part of the data from conducted research concerning the designing and using autonomous vehicles made in a dynamic-based driving environment and with a real car are also applicable in sustaining the arguments.
