“…However, to date, there has been little research focused on ensuring that unaccompanied children can ride safely in AVs (Child Safety in a Self-Driving World, 2017; Lee & Mirman, 2018; Morris, 2017; Nooteboom, 2017; Schwebel, 2018; Silver, 2016). Meager consideration of children’s needs is likely due to the large amount of attention being devoted to other topics related to AVs, such as ensuring that the technology underlying these vehicles is robust (Barabás, Todoruţ, Cordoş, & Molea, 2017), confirming that AVs will actually be as safe or safer to use than traditional vehicles (Koopman & Wagner, 2017; Koopman & Wagner, 2018; Sivak & Schoettle, 2015), understanding how AVs will make decisions when preventing someone from harm is not possible (Bonnefon, Shariff, & Rahwan, 2016; Spangler, 2017), and understanding the impacts of AV technologies on infrastructure, economics, and society (Frey, 2017; Litman, 2018).…”
