“…Obviously, trying to check all the polygons of each of the objects is pointless, because there are parts of objects that have no chance to collide with another object in some sorts of crashes, for e.g. in a front accident, the rear part of the vehicle will not be damaged; therefore, there are several methods to reduce the number of polygons intersections when using Spatial Data Structures [9].…”

Introduction:The Trolley problem is a very well-known ethics dilemma about actively killing one or sometimes even more persons in order to save a number of persons. The problem can occur in autonomous vehicles when the vehicle realizes that there is no way to prevent a collision, the computer of the vehicle should analyze which collision is considered to be the least harmful collision.Method and Result:In this paper, we suggest a method to evaluate the likely harmfulness of each sort of collision using Spatial Data Structures and Bounding Volumes and accordingly to decide which course of actions would be the less harmful and therefore should be chosen by the autonomous vehicle.Conclusion:The aim of this paper is to emphasize that the “Trolley Problem” occurs when the human driver is replaced by a robot and if a moral answer is given by an authoritative and legitimate board of experts, it can be coded in autonomous vehicle software.

“…Rail accidents are usually rarer, but when rail accidents happen, statistically more people will be killed [8]. On the other hand, simulations of traffic accidents show that more damages are caused to car bodies in accidents, because they are feebler than rail bodies [9,10,11]. As a result, road crashes impose more significant costs.…”

In an Era of Autonomous Vehicles, Rails are Obsolete

In few years autonomous vehicles will be nothing special in many countries. These vehicles will noticeably change the worldwide transport market. One of the noteworthy changes will be the leaving behind of rail systems, because of a number of essential rationales. The most significant rationales are: (a) Autonomous vehicles are much safer than trains and the chances for a car accident will be very low. (b) Traffic jams and congestions will be considerably reduced, so they will not be a good enough reason for rails anymore. (c) Modern autonomous cars pollute Earth's atmosphere roughly just as rails pollute and both of the pollutions have been significantly reduced. (d) Disableds will prefer autonomous cars over rails.

“…Traffic lights are one of the oldest safety apparatus for transportation [3]; however, traffic lights can have both positive and negative effects on transportation safety; particularly traffic lights can increase the chances for rear end vehicle accidents [4]. Computed collision detection simulations can help deciding whether to install a traffic light in a questionable intersection [5,6]. Yet, when the new autonomous vehicles will be widespread, these decisions may be changed [7,8,9].…”
